How to make meatballs in sauce

Step by step preparation of a recipe for meatballs in tomato sauce.The amounts? I put them to the eye. In the case of salt, if you are working with pork you can not taste it raw, so you should use your instinct to the maximum and always thinking that it is better to miss it than to overeat.

When you have all the spices incorporated, add a medium or small whole egg and a bit of breadcrumbs to the meat. Mix well. The idea is that you have a texture, say, a mass that you can work with your hands without problem, that you can shape it and not disarm. To achieve this, maybe you need to add bread crumbs to the meat, do it slowly, we do not want your meatloaf to taste like bread.

Once you have a texture that you can "knead", make balls a little smaller than a peach. Do not worry if you do not have perfect rounds, do not worry if you stick a little on your hands.

Next, you will put wheat flour on a plate or a board and you will pass each ball of meat through the plate until they are well covered on all sides, making sure they do not have a too thick layer.

Look at the picture, so your floured dumplings should look like.

Once all are ready, heat a large, deep pan, you can use a pot. Put a good splash of olive oil and sauté a large whole onion, chopped into small cubes.

Once the onion is transparent, remove it from the pan and reserve it.

Add a little more oil and place the meatballs. Lower the heat in half and let it cool. Move them constantly so that they are golden on all sides. Do it carefully so that they will not disarm you.

Put the onion back that you had sofrito before and add a can of crushed tomato of 800 grams. Stir well so that all the meatballs are well impregnated with sauce. Lower the heat and cover.

Let cook for about 45 minutes, remember, fire low and always attentive to not stick. Remove with a wooden spoon from time to time.

After this time your meatballs in sauce they should be ready. Turn off the heat and let them sit for a couple of minutes.

Serve your delicious meatballs in tomato sauce with white rice and if you want, put some fresh parsley on top to decorate.
