1/2 to 1lb. ground beef
handful chopped parsley
1 egg
1 slice bread soaked in 1tbsp. milk
salt and pepper
beef broth
tomato paste
3-5 carrots, peeled and cubed
2 russet potatoes
1/2 onion, chopped, cubed
2 garlic cloves, minced
First, mix together the meat, parsley, egg, bread (squeeze out the milk before adding), and salt and pepper and form into meatballs and refrigerate for 30min.
Brown in a pan with some olive oil. Turn to brown all sides. I did not let mine chill long enough so they fell apart! So, I chopped it all up instead of trying to make my meatballs work. oh well!
Next, remove the meat and add the onions and garlic and cook for a minute or two. Then, add in the potatoes and carrots chopped into uniform pieces. Pour over beef broth (enough to cover everything, probably ~3 cups...this broth will get soaked up!) and add 1/2 of a small can of tomato paste. Stir to incorporate the tomato paste, cover, and simmer on low for ~30min. or until veggies are tender. Stir occassionaly during cooking.
