How to Make Meatballs In Garlic Tomato And Mint Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground meat (chicken, lamb, or beef), 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 celery stalks (finely chopped) until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup tomato paste, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the browned meatballs. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Garnish with extra fresh mint before serving. Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
