METHOD FOR BAKING MEAT BALLS:

  • To make meat balls first, pre-heat the oven at 400 F (for ten minutes)
  • In a bowl, put ground meat, bread crumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper and onion. Mix well.
  • A hard dough will get formed.
  • Make medium sized balls about 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter with this dough.
  • Grease the baking tray with a little oil.
  • Place the balls in the tray and bake for about 20 minutes.

METHOD FOR COOKING THE SAUCE:

  • Let them get baked, let’s make our sauce till then.
  • Put olive oil in a sauce pan. Add chopped onion. Let it become golden brown.
  • Add crushed garlic cloves and cook for a minute.
  • Add tomatoes and cook till they become tender.
  • Finally add salt, sugar, bay leaf, pepper and tomato paste and cook for a while.

TIME TO PUT THEM TOGETHER!

  • Take out the baked meat balls and add them to this hot sauce.
  • They are ready to be served with boiled rice or spaghetti.

Tip: Make sure you add salt to taste and a few mint leaves while boiling rice or spaghetti for a better taste!

     If the dough you are making becomes much hard, do not panic, beat another egg and add a little quantity to the dough. Check it whether it is fine. If not, add some more egg. It will be fine then.

BENEFITS OF BAY LEAVES:

Since I have used a bay leaf in the sauce, I would like to discuss a few benefits.

  • It’s an aromatic spice and adds flavor to the dish.
  • It is rich in Vitamin A, Folic acid, Vitamin B and a source of minerals too!
  • Use it, enjoy the flavor and the benefits too!
