Meatballs are usually very rich to eat with pasta, with mash, accompanied by a tasty salad, or if it is made with a sauce such as tomato, sweet and sour, or with mustard, they could also be delicious only with rice. At parties, they are also very fancy as snacks since they can be made small and eat with a sauce or dip.
These meatballs are easy to prepare. In less than 20 minutes, you will have enough to serve and enjoy. In its preparation, ground beef commonly used. You can also make pork, chicken, or fish. I like them with the first meat that I mentioned because it gives it a unique flavor, also because I have traditionally prepared them, so this ingredient has a lot of flavors. I also use finely chopped onion, egg, fresh herbs such as coriander and oregano, which complements the aroma of the meat.
A trick that I have in mind when preparing meatballs is to add a little cornmeal to the mixture so that it gives it more consistency. I also prefer to sauté the onion a little so that it provides more flavor. The meatballs must remain the same size, so if it is not good with the measurements, you can use a spoon to calculate the amount and then knead it to give it the proper shape.
Finally, I want to highlight that in this recipe, I fried the meatballs in a little oil, drained them, and then dipped them in sweet and sour sauce. But they are delicious if you put them to cook in the sauce of your choice or any soup.
You can accompany these meatballs with white rice or mango salad.
