Cooking Instructions
1.
Add Cubanelle Pepper (1/4), Onion (1/4), and Garlic (2 cloves) to food processor. Chop until vegetables almost form a paste.
2.
Add Lean Ground Beef (1 lb), processed vegetables, Breadcrumbs (1/4 cup), Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp), Egg (1), Chicken Bouillon Powder (1/2 Tbsp), and Dried Oregano (1/2 tsp) to a bowl. Use a spoon to mix.
3.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out meat ball portions, roll them in your hands one by one before placing them onto a separate plate.
4.
Add Cooking Oil (1 Tbsp) to a pan on medium-high heat. Once heated, add meatballs to the pan in batches. After a few minutes, rotate meatballs to cook all sides evenly.
5.
After the meatballs are finished searing, remove some oil, leaving about a table spoon of oil in the pan.
6.
Hand chop Onion (1/4) and Cubanelle Pepper (1/2) and add to the pan. Add Distilled White Vinegar (1 tsp) and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until soft.
7.
Add Tomato Paste (2 Tbsp) and Tomato Sauce (1 cup). Fill half the can of tomato sauce with water, give it a whirl and add it in. Then add Manzanilla Olives (8) to the pan.
