2 large potatoes, grated coarsely
4 medium onions, grated coarsely
15 sprigs of parsley, chopped
3 medium eggs
½ Tbsp. chicken powder
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. baharat spice mix
½ tsp. salt
¼-½ cup matzah meal (or 1 slice of bread soaked in water and then squeezed well)
Oil for frying
Tomato sauce:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped finely
6 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tomato, chopped finely
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
½ tsp. harissa (hot chili paste) or pilpelchuma (pepper garlic sauce)
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. spicy paprika
1 tsp. sweet paprika
½ tsp. sugar
¼ tsp. cinnamon
2 ½ - 3 cups water
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the potato, onion and parsley. Add the eggs, soup powder, pepper, baharat, salt and matzah meal. Mix well. If the mixture is too watery, you can add some more matza meal.
Heat the oil in a large pot. Form meatballs with a diameter of 5 cm. and fry them on both sides until they just change color. If you don’t want to fry them, you can bake them in the oven.

To prepare the sauce, heat a large pot and fry the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, harissa and spices. Stir and then add the water and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs and shake the pot so that the sauce covers all of them. Cook over a low flame for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce becomes nice and thick. Serve over white rice.
Level of difficulty: Medium.
Time: 50-60 minutes.

Tipascale for cooking with ground beef:
• ½ cup of matzah meal can be swapped with 1 slice of bread soaked in water and then squeezed out, or cooked quinoa or millet.
• You can mix ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. These meatballs usually come out a little more airy.
• When you’re making tomato sauce for children, you can add a few tablespoons of ketchup and a little extra oregano, too.
