Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ¼ onion, minced

  • ½ cup bread crumbs

  • ¼ cup half-and-half

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • sea salt to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup cold water

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. Combine the water and tomatoes in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until the water is absorbed.

  2. Mix together the tomatoes, ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into golf ball-sized spheres.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in the heated oil until no longer pink in the center, turning several times to maintain even coloring; remove and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet. Stir the water and cornstarch together to dissolve cornstarch, then mix into the drippings. Replace skillet over medium heat, bring to a boil and stir until thickened; serve on side of meatballs.
