About Amondegas

Amondegas, or Brazilian meatballs, are a flavorful dish enjoyed across Brazil and influenced by European culinary traditions. Typically made from ground beef, pork, or a combination of both, they are seasoned with garlic, onions, parsley, and spices, shaped into small balls, and often pan-fried or simmered in tomato sauce. Rich in protein, amondegas provide essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins but can vary in healthiness depending on preparation methods. Fried versions may be higher in fat, while baked or stewed varieties are leaner options. Traditional recipes sometimes include breadcrumbs, which can boost calorie content. While amondegas are delicious and nutrient-rich, serving them with fresh vegetables or whole grains can balance the dish and make it part of a wholesome meal. Adaptations featuring lean meats or plant-based alternatives can further enhance their nutritional value while retaining their comforting appeal.
