Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 500g lean organic beef
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh coriander
• 2 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 small ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 100ml tomato paste
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp arrowroot starch to thicken for desired consistency

 

Directions:

Combine the ground meat in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the paprika, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Mix well.

Shape into tiny 1-inch balls and set aside.

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and heat until fragrant, then add tomato, tomato paste, water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil.

Place the meatballs in the sauce, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until the meatballs are cooked through, about 40 minutes.

Mix a tablespoon of arrowroot starch into a tablespoon of cold water. Mix well. Pour in and mix until the sauce thickens.

Serve with fresh veggies, for example: carrots & broccoli.

Enjoy!
