Description

These meatballs in Spanish sauce are a classic dish that always triumphs. The sauce, made with fresh vegetables and a touch of brandy and red wine, gives it a deep and delicious flavour. Although the preparation of the sauce requires a little time, the end result is worth it. I usually prepare a good amount and freeze part of it to always have it on hand. Perfect for a family meal or a special dinner. A comforting and flavorful dish!
