Meatballs

Today's recipe is very special to me because ... it's the recipe of my mother's meatballs! They are very tasty and do not take long to make, is a very convenient dish that you can bring to the office if you regularly eat out and combine with salad, fries or baked potatoes...

Ingredients for 2 servings:

- 10.58 oz of minced meat

- 1 egg

- ¼ onion

- 1 small clove garlic

- 1.5 level tablespoons of breadcrumbs

- ½ tablespoon of flour to the sauce

- 1 bay leaf

- A squirt of white wine

- Salt

- Parsley

- Olive oil

Recipe:

- Chop the garlic into very small pieces.

- In a large bowl add the meat, egg, minced garlic, a tablespoon and a half of breadcrumbs, a little salt and parsley and stir well until everything is well mixed and uniform.

- On a plate, put a bit of flour to coat the meatballs.

- Take the meat of the bowl and give it round shape with your hands. If you find it difficult at first, you can use a glass (make the ball, introduce it in the glass and move it quickly in circles), you will see how they look great!

- Roll in flour and then shake them a bit to remove the excess of flour.

- Heat olive oil in a pan (enough to cover the base) and fry the meatballs over medium heat.

- Once they are fried, put them in a separate saucepan.

- Add the bay leaf in the same saucepan.

- Strain the oil where you fried the meatballs and, in the same pan, with the oil over low heat fry the onion into cubes.

- Once it is golden, add half a tablespoon of the flour and stir until well browned.

- Add it to the saucepan with the meatballs and throw in a squirt of white wine.

- Fill the pot of water until it covers the meatballs and cook over medium heat until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.

*Tip: to avoid that the oil burns in the pan while you are frying the meatballs, I recommend you put 3 toothpicks in the oil, because that toothpicks will burn instead of oil, that last more time, so you would fry all the meatballs.

Bon appétit!
