Steps:
- 1. Place water to boil in a medium sized pan
- 2. with the exception of the saved items. Mix all of the above together (except water) in a medium bowl.
- 3. Mix well. mixture will be sticky. start forming meat balls, slightly smaller than a golf ball, between both your hands and drop Drop gently into boiling water. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF . DO NOT DROP MEAT BALL HIGH ENOUGH TO SPLASH WATER.
- 4. After all meat is in the water, keep heat on high to bring back to boiling point, then lower heat to simmer and add: balance of tomato sauce, sprigs of cilantro and mint. Add: garlic salt, salt, and black pepper to your taste.
- 5. Simmer approx. 20 min. test a meat ball by bring one out of pot and cut in 1/2 to test the rice. Rice must be ALMOST SOFT, NOT SOFT. Place back in pot.
- 6. Add carrots and potatoes. When carrots and potatoes are done so is the rice.
- 7. I am very picky about the Mexican food I eat. I cook all of mine and I prefer to cook from scratch, I guess I am old school lol. This recipe is one of the best I have ever tasted, I hope you will try it too, you might surprise yourself. It healthy and low fat. Enjoy!
- 8. Note: The meat should end up being very soft, but the meatball should not be disintegrating.
