Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Tender meatballs depend on not overworking the mixture.

Ground meat is combined with soaked bread, egg, onion, rice and seasoning. The mixture is lightly combined - not kneaded.

Balls are shaped with wet hands and placed into simmering tomato sauce.

• Covered and cooked gently
• Turned once during cooking
• Simmered until cooked through

Served with the tomato sauce spooned over, accompanied by bread or rice.
