Main Course
4
Lior Lev Sercarz
1 pound ground beef (I used short rib)
1 egg
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Sofrico spice
Salt
Black pepper
Olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can peeled diced tomatoes
Vietnamese cinnamon
In a bowl combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg and season with some Sofrico spice, salt and ground pepper. Shape about 15 meatballs and set aside.
Heat some olive oil in a pan and cook the meatballs on all sides for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned.
Remove them from the pan and pour the tomatoes into the pan.
Bring to a simmer and season with salt and Vietnamese cinnamon. Add the meatballs into the tomato sauce and simmer over low heat, turning the meatballs every few minutes for about 25 minutes.
• Add chopped cilantro and parsley to the meat mix
.• Replace the beef with ground lamb and season it with our kibbeh spice.
