Directions: |
Directions:Mix the minced chicken or turkey with the minced bacon. Add onion, garlic, soy sauce, oregano, pinenuts and breadcrumbs to the meat. Mix all ingredients together very well.
Make small balls with the mixture - about the size of a large marble. Coat them lightly in the flour and put all the balls on a large plate until you are ready to fry them.
To make the sauce: In a large saucepan, combine the onion, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in a non-stick pan with a little olive oil. Saute gently until they are soft. Stir in chopped tomatoes and carrot. Add the white wine and cloves. Dissolve bouillon cube in water and add to sauce. Add peas, bayleaf and tomato puree to taste. Stir well and simmer over low heat.
Put some olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, enough to cover the bottom of the pan, and fry the meatballs until they are brown all over. Turn meatballs over so that they cook on all sides, making sure heat is not to high - you do not want them to burn. You may need to fry them in several batches. As each batch is done, add to the sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes. |
