When the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet and fry them.

Once they are golden brown on all sides, remove them and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Next, start making the almond sauce! First, peel and chop the onion for sautéing. You can chop it however you like since everything will be blended later.

Remove some of the oil used for frying the meatballs, but leave a little in the pan to sauté the onion first.

Meanwhile, cut the slice of bread into pieces to fry as well.

Add a bit more oil to the skillet to fry the almonds. Stir them constantly so they don’t burn! (I didn’t remove the skins because it was difficult, and since they were already roasted, I didn’t want to blanch them.)

Finally, fry the bread. Add another splash of oil and fry the bread pieces until golden. Then place them in the blender jar.

Add a little hot water to help blend everything into a sauce consistency.

Blend until you reach the desired texture. It’s better to add water little by little so the sauce doesn’t get too thin. I had to add a bit more water to get the texture I wanted. Add salt! If you already salted the onion earlier, taste and adjust as needed.

To finish, in the same skillet, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil, the sauce, and the meatballs!

The flavor of the roasted almonds goes really well with the meat… They turned out delicious! (In the last video, you can see Toronto’s famous CN Tower in the distance.)
