Beef Meatballs with Tomato Sauce and Chickpeas

Place chickpeas, egg, parsley, basil, Parmesan, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Blend everything, then add meat and flour and mix. Form smaller balls from the finished mixture.

Next, heat oil in a large pot and sauté the meatballs in it over medium heat until golden brown (approx. 4–5 minutes). Then remove the meatballs from the pot, place them on a plate, and sauté onion and garlic together in the same oil (3–4 minutes over medium heat). Subsequently, add tomatoes, water, and vinegar and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Finally, add the meatballs and cook for another 15–20 minutes until the meatballs are done.
