Steps:
- Mix the meat, egg, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs and cumin together. Add salt and pepper.
- Use the flour to form the meatballs with your hands ( not too small, not too big ).
- Deep fry the meatballs in vegetable oil in a low heat. Do not overcook them.
- Remove them from the pan and throw away the oil, apart from a few teaspoons.
- Shallow fry the tomato and peppercorns. Season.
- Add the tomato paste, the red wine and the stock diluted in water ( dont add too much water or the sauce will become runny ).
- Add a pinch of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Add the meatballs back to the pan and simmer in a very low heat for approximately 10 minutes, until the sauce is nice and thick.
- Serve with rice.
