Ingredients
Meatballs
250g Minced pork
250g Minced Beef
1 egg
1 white roll or slice of bread
200 ml milk or water
60 g parmesan cheese - grated
½ tsp ground cumin
3 garlic cloves - minced
Small bunch of parsley – finely chopped
Salt & pepper
Stew
1 large onion or 2 medium – diced
4 garlic cloves – chopped
400 -500 ml chicken stock
700 g potatoes – (white potatoes)
1/8 tsp food colouring
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Begin by soaking the bread in milk.
In a large bowl, combine minced pork and beef with minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the excess liquid from the bread before adding it to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
With clean hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, each slightly larger than a walnut.
Lightly coat the meatballs with flour, tapping off any excess.
In a pan, heat a little oil. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches and fry until browned on all sides.
In a large pot or casserole, use the same oil used for frying the meatballs. Add one large diced onion and sauté until soft. Then add three chopped garlic cloves and fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add diced potatoes and fry for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the meatballs back into the pot along with chicken stock and food colouring. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, and then let it simmer until the potatoes are fully cooked.
Note: If desired, you can add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavour.
