I dont follow recipes, btw. all salt and cumin is to taste.
you need: a red tomato, a quarter onion, both diced. garlic, cilantro, salt and cumin, ground meat, rice, an egg, potatoes, carrots, and if you like mexican squash (or any squash, really) and cabbage if you like.
Dice the tomato, quarter of an onion, and chop some cilantro, salt, and two cloves of garlic either minced or whole which you fan later fish out and break down, and put a pot of water to boil and put all that in.
Then, mix the meat, an egg, a 1/4 c of rice, salt, minced garlic, minced onion, cumin and mix til it comes together. play witcha balls. :p
lower the temp on water, drop meatballs in the water slowly, then crank water back up to med.
meanwhile, chop veggies. take out cup and a half of broth, set aside. add half a can of tomato sauce to broth.
20 min after putting balls in, put veggies in. once potatoes are cooked, youre done.
make rice: brown the rice in pan, add other half a can of tomato sauce, the cup of broth, add a little salt if desired, let it cook the reg 20 min.
