Spanish meatballs (called ‘Albondigas’ in Spanish) are delicious meaty morsels that are best when served in a rich flavorsome tomato sofrito sauce. They are ideal for party food or served as a small appetizer or tapas. Best of all, Spanish meatballs are super easy to make and use a few easy-to-find ingredients.
We have two cooking options for the meatballs: pan-fried or oven-baked and both are clearly explained below in the recipe guide.
Servings: 4 as tapas
