Fried Beef Boulettes with Tomato Sauce
Lemon and parsley beef balls fried golden and served with a warm tomato sauce.
Method
Steps
Step 1
For the proposed tomato sauce, soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes; add garlic for 30 seconds, then tomato, salt, pepper and paprika. Simmer uncovered 15–20 minutes until spoonable, adding a little water only if it catches. Measure about 240 mL for the dish.
Step 2
Mince beef, onion and parsley together; mix in lemon juice, melted butter, egg, salt, pepper and cayenne. Shape about 16 even balls and roll lightly in flour.
Step 3
Heat lard to about 175 °C in a deep pan. Fry balls in batches until golden and their centres reach 71 °C; drain well.
Step 4
Serve the fried boulettes promptly with warm proposed tomato sauce alongside, retaining their crisp surface.
