Meat ball deluxe!

Fast, healthy, colorful and absolutely perfect! That's this meat ball. The secret is a combination of  mint and cinamon. Does it sound weird? After you  will try it,  you will fall in love with it like I did.

The preparation is easy. First off, we need a kitchen robot or a hand blender, a good deep pan or pot and the willingness to eat something good.  :-)

Put the minced meat (the best choice would be beef, but any will like the mix of beef and pork; about 500 grams), one onion chopped into large pieces, a clove of garlic, egg, a handful of mint and sea salt into a dish . If you like nutmeg, add some. Blend everything. Make your hands wet and create spherical meat balls from the mix. After then, put  them to rest for few minutes in a cold place.

Heat the olive oil on pan and roast the meat balls few minutes from all sides. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes (about 400 g), a tablespoon of vinegar (preferably apple vinegar or wine vinegar) and pour a little broth or  red wine (about 80 ml, depending on the pan) if you like.

And here is the interesting part! Add about one fourth af teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of oregano. I recommend to add to the sauce two handfuls of black olives. According to your taste add salt. Bring it to a boil. Cook until the sauce thickens before (around 30 minutes).

As a side dish to meat balls you can have piadina spilled by olive oil and sea salt. But I'm sure it will be tasty even with basmati rice!

Do not forget to sprinkle the meat balls by some fresh mint!
