For me, these meatballs have a strong culinary connection to my childhood. My mother made this dish often, and I never tired of it. I love the medley of vegetables and the richness of the sauce. Now, as the one cooking, I love even more that it’s a one-pot affair.

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef, chicken, or turkey

  • 1/2 cup Gefen Bread Crumbs

  • 1 onion, grated

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon coriander

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Bartenura Olive Oil

  • 3 stalks celery, ends removed and sliced

  • 2 zucchini, sliced into half rounds

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 small red potato, diced

  • 1 cup baby carrots or 1 large carrot, cubed

  • 2 (15-oz.) cans Gefen Tomato Sauce

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Gefen Black Pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Directions

For the meatballs

1.

To prepare the meatballs, combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well.

For the sauce

In a wide pan, heat the oil over medium heat and sauté the celery until translucent. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, potato, and carrots.

Add the tomato sauce and boiling water and bring to a boil. Gently stir, then cook for 10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
