- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tbsp Bread crumbs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes(optional)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil(for meatballs)

👨🍳 步骤
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
- 2
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter. You should get about 16-20 meatballs.
- 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. You may need to do this in batches. Remove the browned meatballs and set aside.
- 4
In the same skillet (or a separate pot), heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. This is your roux.
- 5
Slowly whisk in the tomato juice and water, ensuring there are no lumps. Stir in the sugar and sweet paprika. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- 6
Carefully add the browned meatballs to the simmering tomato sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
