Ingredients

  • 1 pound of beef, freshly ground
  • 1 pound of pork, finely ground
  • 2 tablespoons of raw white rice
  • ½ small onion, finely minced
  • 2 eggs, thoroughly beaten
  • ¼ pound of fresh tomatillos, their husks carefully removed
  • 2 jalapenos to add a kick (optional)
  • 1 ½ small white onions, quartered delicately
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly minced garlic
  • ½ cup of fragrant cilantro, chopped
  • 8 ounces of plump green olives, pitted
  • 1 cup of pure water
  • 1 tablespoon of high-quality olive oil
  • 3 cups of fresh water
  • sprinkle of salt to enhance the flavors

Step 1

Combine the ground beef, ground pork, fluffy white rice, finely chopped onion, and whisked eggs in a spacious mixing bowl. Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs and set them aside for later.

Step 2

In a saucepan, place the vibrant tomatillos and spicy jalapenos, then cover them with water. Bring the mixture to a lively boil and simmer until the tomatillos have softened and turned a lovely shade of yellow, usually around 15 minutes. Once done, drain the ingredients and carefully transfer them to a blender. Add in the quartered onions, aromatic garlic, fresh cilantro, briny green olives, and a cup of water. Blend the ingredients until they reach a velvety consistency.

Step 3

In the same saucepan used for the tomatillos, heat up some oil. Once hot, pour in the blended tomatillo sauce and bring it to a bubbling boil while continuously stirring. Pour in three cups of water and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. Season with salt to your liking.

Step 4

Now, gently introduce the meatballs into the flavorful sauce. If necessary, add more water to ensure the meatballs are fully submerged. Allow everything to simmer, covered, until the meatballs are cooked through and the soup has thickened to perfection, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Serve this hearty and flavorful meatball soup hot and enjoy!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Herb Infused Olive Oil : Keep your fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano in olive oil in a cool, dark place to preserve their flavor and add a fragrant touch to your stew.
  2. 2. Clever Container Choices : Store your homemade meatballs in individual airtight containers to easily portion out for future meals, saving you time and effort during busy weeknights.
