Ingredients

• Two cans of tomato sauce with mushrooms (Rokeach is good)
• Two cans full of water
• Lemon (¼ a cup of lemon juice, or about 1/2 a lemon)
• Sugar: 2 heaping tablespoons (use equal amounts of lemon & sugar – technically the recipe calls for ½ cup of each, but we use ¼ cup of each)
• Onion
• 2 packages of extra lean beef (~1 lb each)
• 1 egg
• Marinara sauce
• Matzah meal
• Parsley flakes

Instructions

• Prepare sauce in big pot: 2 cans of tomato sauce, water, sugar, lemon, ½ an onion in chunks. Turn on flame, wait for boil.
• Prepare meatballs: mush together meat and egg. Sprinkle in generous amount of matzah meal, parsley flakes, a little onion chopped up, a big spoonful of marinara sauce. Mix together. Roll into small balls (about ping pong ball sized).
• Put meatballs in pot when sauce boils. Boil for 10 minutes. Lower flame and cook for 1 hour.

(Makes about 40 meatballs)
