About Spanish meatball

Spanish meatballs, or albóndigas, are a flavorful dish rooted in Spanish cuisine, often enjoyed as tapas or part of a main meal. These tender meatballs are typically made from a mixture of ground beef and pork, seasoned with garlic, onion, parsley, and smoked paprika, giving them a rich and savory taste. They're simmered in a tomato-based sauce infused with olive oil, white wine, and aromatic spices, adding depth and heartiness. While high in protein and containing essential vitamins and minerals from the meat and herbs, Spanish meatballs can be calorie-dense due to the inclusion of fats and oils. Using leaner cuts of meat and moderate portions of olive oil can make this dish a healthier choice. Enjoyed in moderation, Spanish meatballs offer a satisfying blend of traditional flavors and nutritional benefits representative of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
