Albondigas Con Salsa Verde
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup beef or chicken broth
- 5 eggs
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 2 1/4 pounds mixed ground meat
- 1 bunch cilantro
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Put the milk in a small bowl and soak the breadcrumbs.
- Bring the salsa verde and the broth to a boil in a medium-sized pot in which the meatballs should be able to fit later.
- Then leave them to simmer on very low heat for 10 minutes.
- Salt as desired.
- Boil three eggs for ten minutes and then chill them with water, then peel and finely chop them.
- Whisk the rest of the eggs.
- Peel the onions and finely chop them.
- Combine the ground meat with the soaked breadcrumbs, the whisked eggs and the onion pieces in a bowl.
- Wash the cilantro and shake it dry.
- Put aside some leaves for decoration, finely chop the rest of the cilantro and then put this in with the ground meat.
- Spice the mass of meat.
- Part the ground meat into tablespoon-sized portions, press them flat and lay some diced egg cubes in the middle of each portion.
- Press together the ground meat around this filling to form small balls.
- Poach these balls (in desired amounts, portion-wise), for twenty minutes in the simmering salsa-verde broth until they are soft.
- In the meantime, stir the meatballs often, then uncover them again.
- Serve on a dressed plate with the rest of the cilantro leaves sprinkled over the meatballs.
