Ćufte – Bosnian Style Meatballs

• 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup lukewarm water
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 small onion, chopped and divided
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Mix ground beef, half of the onions, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, parsley, water, salt and pepper in a large bowl by hand until just combined.
2. Roll meatballs to about the size of a golf ball. Roll each into flour to give it a good coating.rnHeat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry meatballs until just browned, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Don't worry about the center getting cooked through as you will finish these in the sauce.
3. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon flour to the skillet and brown until golden but not brown. Add remaining chopped onions and saute until softened. Add tomato sauce, oregano and basil and bring to a low simmer.
4. Arrange meatballs in the sauce, turning each one over to coat. Cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes.rnServe with the sauce over spaghetti or other pasta and crusty bread. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish if you want.
