About Albondigas
Albondigas, meaning "meatballs" in Spanish, is a traditional dish found in Spanish and Mexican cuisine. Typically served in a flavorful broth or sauce, these meatballs are made from ground meat such as beef, pork, or a combination, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, and spices like cumin or oregano. Some recipes include rice within the meatballs for added texture. In Mexican cuisine, albondigas soup often incorporates vegetables like carrots, zucchini, and potatoes for a hearty, nutritious meal. Nutritionally, albondigas can be a good source of protein and, when prepared with lean meat and plenty of vegetables, offers fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, depending on preparation, they can be high in saturated fats, sodium, or calories, especially if fried or served with heavy sauces. Healthier versions use baked or boiled meatballs and lighter broths, making it a versatile dish suitable for various dietary preferences.
