Meatballs

  • 1 Pound Lean Ground Meat
  • 1 Slice Bread, rinsed with water and squeezed dry
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Onion, minced
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Clove Garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 1 Cup Tomato Puree
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • Fresh Parsley, to garnish
  • 1/4 Cup Onion, minced
  • 2 Ounces Green Chiles, diced

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs and brown in the olive oil. Drain well. Make your sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the meatballs. Cook for another 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Garnish the top with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
