Frikkadels in a spicy paprika-tomato sauce

25 minutes

Ingredients

    For serving

  • Guacamole, mixed with sliced green chilli, chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon
  • For the frikkadels, mix:

  • 500 g beef mince
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 red onion, grated
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For the spicy paprika-tomato sauce

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1/2 x 400 g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 T tomato puree
  • 2 T Worcester sauce
  • 2 dried chillies, whole

Method

Mould the beef mixture into bite-sized balls.

To make the spicy paprika-tomato sauce:
Place a pan over a medium to high heat and add the olive oil. When hot, fry the tomato, red onion and garlic for 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the remaining sauce ingredients to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes before adding the frikkadels.

Simmer for a further 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the spicy meatballs straight from the pan, alongside bowls of guacamole.

Cook’s note: Serve with a pile of tortilla wraps to mop up the juices.
