Albondigas - Spanish Meatballs

In Fresh Tomato Sauce

You'll find Albondigas wherever you go in Spain. Made with Pork and Beef, Turkey and Ham. In tomato sauce, in gravy, even in a kind of Spanish curry sauce: tastier than it sounds. In the interests of Healthy Eating we have made ours from minced lean chicken. We mince our own but you can use any good quality mince. The most common type found in Spain is a mixture of Pork and Beef.
The main thing is that they taste great and make a great snack or Tapa for any time of the day. Specially in our own fresh homemade tomato sauce.

1 lb. Of ground or minced chicken
1 Fresh egg.
1 Medium onion finely chopped
1 Clove of garlic finely chopped.
1 heaped Tsp. of dried Thyme.
2 ozs. of fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs.
