Here’s one meatball recipe that can be paired with two unique sauces and preparations.

The albóndigas with saffron-tomato sauce are baked, which allows the meatballs to keep their round shape. The albóndigas with almonds are simmered in the sauce, resulting in a tender and flavorful meatball. An ice-cream scoop is ideal for portioning the meatballs and allows for even cooking times and portions.
