• a bit of flour

for the sauce:

• 2 cups fresh tomato sauce
• 2 garlic clove
• a bit of sugar
• salt, pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp oregano

Procedure

First, we prepare the minced meat. In a large bowl, we add the bread crumbs, the onions, the red hot pepper powder, the parsley, the mint, the cumin, the vinegar, and we salt it. We break the egg, we add the oil and we stir. In the end, we add the mince and we mix the ingredients well together.

When the mix is smooth, we leave the mince in the fridge so that all the ingredients blend together nicely.

We shape the meat balls and we cover in flour. We heat oil in a frying pan and we fry them well, turing them around so that they are well cooked. When ready, we place them on a plate.

We add the oil into the saucepan and we sautee the finely chopped garlic. We add the tomato, the salt, the pepper, the sugar, the oregano and some water, and we let it simmer.

When the sauce thickens, we add the meat balls, we leave them steam for 5 minutes and we serve with rise or potatoes.
