Albóndigas, which means meatballs in Spanish, are found in Sopa de Albondigas, a popular food dish that originated in Mexico. In this recipe, the meatballs are made with rice in them and the broth is usually chicken based. The following vegetables are commonly used in this dish: onion, carrots, potatoes, squashes, chayote and seasonings such as cilantro, mint, salt and garlic.
When mixing the rice and meat together, Id recommend adding raw eggs so that when the meatballs are dropped into the boiling pot they will stiffen a bit and wont break apart on you! Though, if you add the eggs, just remember to count in those extra Weight Watchers Points!
If you want to bulk up this dish for the non-dieters, you can follow the tradition of the Mexican Northwest, by accompanying the dish with warm rolled tortillas topped with mayonnaise and salsa. Yum!
