Tomato Meatballs

Directions

Let's start by preparing the tomatoes. Make a small cross-shaped incision at the bottom of each tomato and immerse them in boiling water for half a minute. Then transfer them to a bowl of cold water with ice cubes to stop the cooking process and peel off the skin. Cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds. Finely chop the tomatoes and add them to a bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well until you get a thick paste. Be careful not to overmix, as we want to avoid a meatball-like texture.
Using a spoon, take a small amount of the mixture and place it in a frying pan. If you find it difficult to shape the mixture into meatballs, you can make the mixture a bit tighter and shape it into balls. Fry the meatballs in moderate heat using a sufficient amount of oil. Avoid constantly flipping the meatballs as they will absorb more oil. Once cooked, drain them on absorbent paper towels.
Serve the tomato meatballs warm. You can accompany them with a yogurt dip flavored with mint and dill.
Enjoy your delicious tomato meatballs!
