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.
Step 2
Add garlic for 30 seconds, then tomato, the sauce's half teaspoon salt, quarter teaspoon black pepper and paprika.
Step 3
Simmer uncovered 15–20 minutes until spoonable, adding a little water only if it catches. Measure about 240 mL for the dish.
Step 4
Mince beef, onion and parsley together; mix in lemon juice, melted butter, egg, the three-quarter teaspoon salt, the separate quarter teaspoon black pepper and cayenne. Shape about 16 even balls and roll lightly in flour.
Step 5
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 6
Serve the fried boulettes promptly with warm proposed tomato sauce alongside, retaining their crisp surface.
