Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
-
1 tablespoon dried parsley
-
salt, to taste
-
1 cup rice
-
2 cups water
-
1 tablespoon cooking oil
-
2 small onions, minced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (14.25 ounce) can tomato puree
-
1 bay leaf
-
2 tablespoons white vinegar
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 tablespoon dried parsley
-
½ teaspoon chili powder
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
Directions
-
Mix together the ground beef, 1 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon parsley, and salt in a bowl.
-
Bring rice and water to a boil in a pot. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
-
While the rice cooks, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 minced onion and 1 minced clove in the hot oil until the onion is soft; add to the beef mixture; form into 24 small meatballs.
-
Cook the meatballs in the skillet until evenly browned on all sides; drain. Place the remaining minced onion and minced garlic clove in the skillet; cook and stir until the onion is soft. Stir in the tomato puree, bay leaf, vinegar, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon parsley, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook until thick, about 20 minutes. Add the meatballs and cook until the meatballs are no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes.
-
When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the corn. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the rice.
