Beef Meatballs in Broth with Vegetables
This is my recipe for Meatballs IN BROTH. Almost all recipes include an egg in the ground meat mixture. I don't like adding egg, so I came up with this way to make the meatballs. They turn out very good and tender.
When you make this recipe, ask the butcher for a white bone with the meat and take the opportunity to cook a piece of meat to shred for later use, or try to make it when you have beef or chicken broth stored in the freezer. It can also be made with water and bouillon, but it doesn't taste the same.

Prepare the meat for the meatballs and form the meatballs: In a pan, sauté the onion and mint or parsley. When they are sautéed, turn off the heat, add the seasonings and breadcrumbs. Stir and add a splash of water to form a soft paste like baby food.
- 2
Mix this with the meat and stir well, do not overwork the meat, check the seasoning. Form the meatballs, if you want to fill them, do so with cheese, green chili, diced hard-boiled egg, or to taste.
- 3
For those with chilies, shape them elongated to distinguish them. I use diced jalapeño (seedless) to fill them, they are not spicy and taste very good. Others I fill with diced fresh cheese.

Now prepare them as you like, in broth or in sauce.
- 5
Sauce: Blend the sauce ingredients and fry it in oil, in the pot where you will make the broth.
- 6
Add the broth or water and bouillon and let it boil. Then add the meatballs and skim off the foam that rises to the surface; when it comes back to a boil, add the vegetables: Potatoes in large pieces, zucchinis, and carrots, cut as you would for a stew.
- 7
When the potatoes are just tender, check the seasoning, turn off the heat, and add a sprig of cilantro and another of mint. Serve with rice.
