Spanish Meatballs image

I started scribbling a list the other day of ingredients that would sound good in Spanish-style meatballs. This is what transpired. I realized that the ingredients are almost identical to a chicken recipe I prepared about six years ago. Ground lamb can replace the beef or use in combination; as would ground pork.

Categories     Beef

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef, lamb or pork (or combination)
1/3 c finely minced yellow onion
1-2 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
2 Tbsp almond meal (or grind whole almonds to cornmeal consistency)
1/2 c finely ground breadcrumbs (any rustic bread, barra de pan, ciabatta, etc.)
1/2 tsp spanish smoked paprika, or more if desired
1/2 tsp dried parsley
pinch ground cinnamon
1/4 c mayonnaise (olive oil mayo or regular, your choice)
3/4 tsp orange zest, finely grated
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place the meat in a large bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Combine.
  • 2. Cover bowl and chill the meatball mixture at least 30 minutes. Chilling the meat makes it easier to form into balls.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use an oiled small cookie dough scoop and arrange meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 4. Bake the meatballs about 30 minutes or until browned. Turn the meatballs over and the baking sheet around at the halfway mark for even browning. Transfer the meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels and drain then arrange on a serving platter.

I would not recommend this recipe. The meatballs were dry and the sauce was flavorless.

These meatballs were not what I expected. They were a little too dense and the sauce was a bit too sweet.

I found this recipe to be a little bland. I added some extra spices to the meatballs and sauce, and they turned out much better.
