Ingredients
500 g ground beef
1/2 chopped or grated onion
2 to 3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 chopped tomato without skin (optional)
Chopped cilantro or parsley to taste
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 egg
2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or until the dough binds)
Oil for frying
1/2 chopped or grated onion
2 to 3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 chopped tomato without skin (optional)
Chopped cilantro or parsley to taste
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 egg
2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or until the dough binds)
Oil for frying
Where to find ingredients
Ground beef, onion, garlic, tomato, cilantro, parsley, salt, black pepper, eggs, all-purpose flour, and oil can be found at most supermarkets and butcher shops.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, place the ground meat
- Add the onion, garlic, tomato (if using), cilantro or parsley, salt, and black pepper to the meat
- Mix all seasonings well into the meat to ensure even distribution
- Add the egg and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the mixture
- Mix again until you get a dough that can be shaped
- If the dough is too moist and difficult to shape, add more all-purpose flour gradually until it is moldable and does not stick to your hands
- Shape small balls or slightly flattened meatballs, ensuring similar sizes so they fry evenly
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pot or skillet over medium heat
- To test the oil temperature, drop a small piece of dough into the oil
- If the dough piece rises to the surface and bubbles slowly, the oil is at the ideal temperature
- Deep-fry the meatballs over medium heat until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside
- Avoid overcrowding the pan with too many meatballs at once, as this can lower the oil temperature and compromise crispiness
- Remove the fried meatballs and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil before serving
