Beef Meatballs
Ingredients
82 tblsp olive oil
2 spring onions, finely chopped 400g beef mince
1 medium free-range egg Handful plain flour, for dusting 400g can chopped tomatoes
1 tblsp ground cumin
1 tblsp tomato purée
Cooking Method
Put 1 tblsp of the oil into a pan, add the spring onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Put the beef mince and half the onion into a large bowl. In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg with a fork, then add to the meat and onion. Season and mix everything together with your hands – you can use a fork but it is more fun using your hands.
Divide the mixture evenly into 8 balls. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate, then roll each meatball in the flour. Chill for 10 minutes. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, add the meatballs and cook for 5 minutes without moving them.
Using tongs, carefully turn them over and cook for another 5 minutes.
