Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Method

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot and add the finely chopped onion. Sauté gently over low heat until softened.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
3. Add the egg and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until incorporated.
4. Add the soaked, squeezed bread and the blanched minced garlic. Mix thoroughly to form a uniform mixture.
5. Once the onion is translucent, add the tomato pulp and strained tomatoes. Season with salt. Increase heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let cook while preparing meatballs.
6. In a separate frying pan, heat a little olive oil. Shape the meatball mixture into balls of desired size.
7. Add the meatballs to the pan and brown them on all sides.
8. Transfer the browned meatballs to the tomato sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the meatballs are cooked through.
9. Serve hot.
