Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss quartered potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Spread in one layer and roast at 425°F.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes roast, boil rice in 2 cups salted water until tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Shape ground beef into 8–10 balls, each about the size of a walnut. Season with 1 tsp cumin, salt, and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear meatballs 2 minutes per side until golden outside.

  5. Step 5

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and 2 tbsp red wine vinegar. Simmer 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Serve meatballs and tomato sauce alongside rice and roasted potatoes. Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.
