Ingredients
Meatballs:
-
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
-
1 egg
-
2 tablespoons minced garlic
-
¼ cup bread crumbs
-
½ teaspoon cumin
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Tomato Sauce:
-
1 ½ cups water
-
3 tablespoons tomato paste
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Combine the ground beef, egg, garlic, bread crumbs, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well mixed. Roll the mixture into egg-sized balls, and set aside.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs; cook until firm, and browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove meatballs from the skillet and pour out the fat.
-
Bring the water to a boil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the tomato paste, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Add the cooked meatballs, and simmer in the tomato sauce for 5 to 10 minutes until completely cooked.
