Spanish meatballs
Spanish meatballs, also known as "albóndigas," are a traditional Spanish dish made with ground beef or a mix of ground meats like pork and beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, garlic, onion, and spices like paprika, salt, and pepper.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup red wine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Shape the meat mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the flour to the skillet and stir to combine with the remaining oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth and red wine, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
