I'll post it, then Aitch can steal it
I cant remember where I got it but it was off a realy good site and I made them when I did a Tapas night.
2lb mince, either Beef and pork or lamb
1 cup of milk
4 cloves of garlic
3oz Breadcrumbs
flour to coat
parsley
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying
Put your mince in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl soak the bradcrumbs in the milk.
Smash the garlic and add this with the herbs to the breadcrumb mix. Blend and place the mixture into a blender until fully smooth. Put this mixture in with the mince and then stir until fully mixed.
Take one or two tablespoons of mince and roll into a ball. Put the ball in a tea cup, cover with your hand and shake to give a good shape. Cover with flour.
Once the meatballs are done, heat a deep pan and fill with oil, when the oil is hot, place the nmeatballs in and brown.
The recipe it gave for the sauce was a basic wine one so I used this one which is really for Patatas Bravas but goes very well with the meatballs and is very yummy.
1tbsp olive oil
1 cove of garlic finely chopped
1 small red chilli (optional)
4 medium tomatoes roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
1 tbsp herbs, pref sage
Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add garlic and chilli and fry for 1 min. Add chopped toms and paprika and continue to cook for 5 mins until, the toms are softened but still have some shape. Season to taste then add the herbs and remove from heat.
Alternatively rather than using whole toms, use tinned. They actually make a better sauce IMO.
