Meatballs in Tomato
What you need
- 500g minced beef
- 1 onion
- 2 spoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tin of tomatoes
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Mix mince with grated onion, breadcrumbs and salt, roll into balls. Brown them in a pan, tip the tomatoes over, and simmer twenty-five minutes.
How it feels to make
Rolling them all the same size is a job for small hands and it's the best job going.
Mom wrote on the back
Grate the onion, don't chop it. Chopped onion makes the balls fall apart.
