Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 20 Min
Ready In: 35 Min

Ingredients

Meatballs:
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 egg
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Tomato Sauce:
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine the ground beef, egg, garlic, bread crumbs, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well mixed.
Roll the mixture into egg-sized balls, and set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs; cook until firm, and browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove meatballs from the skillet and pour out the fat.

  2. Very similar to a recipe my family loves, only we grew up knowing them as Izmir Kufte. I especially love having extra sauce to spoon over my pilaf. Yummm! I think last time I made these, I tried browning them in the oven rather than frying them. If memory serves, we liked the texture better that way. Thanks for the reminder - I'll have to make these soon! :)

  3. Browning the meatballs in the oven is great.
