Beef Meatballs with Tomato Sauce and Chickpeas

Place the chickpeas, egg, parsley, basil, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend everything finely, then add the ground beef and flour and mix well. Form small balls from the finished mixture.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot and fry the meatballs over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Then remove the balls from the pot and set them aside on a plate.

In the same pot, sauté the diced onion and pressed garlic for 3–4 minutes over medium heat. Then add the chopped tomatoes, water, and vinegar and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes.
