Ingredients
Preparation 20 minutes preparation + 10 minutes cooking
Soften the amaretti cookies in a few tablespoons of almond milk (or milk).
Plump the raisins in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes, drain and squeeze out any excess water.
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, softened amaretti cookies, eggs, raisins, pine nuts, chopped pistachios, powdered cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper, mixing well.
Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls.
Fry in a pan of enough hot oil (check temperature by dropping in one meatball) to cover the meatballs completely.
When browned, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
After all the meatballs are fried, place in a pan over medium heat with granulated sugar and vinegar and stir until the vinegar has completely evaporated.
Serve immediately.
