Steps:
- Add breadcrumbs, milk, and finely chopped onion to a large bowl; stir until well combined and let stand 5 minutes.
- To breadcrumb mixture, add pork, beef, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and parsley. Knead mixture gently until thoroughly combined (do not overwork or your meatballs will be tough). Cover and refrigerate while you make the sauce (about 40 minutes).
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and carrot; cook and stir until softened and starting to brown, 5-7 minutes. Add paprika, tomatoes plus 1/4 cup of their juice and brandy. Increase heat to high; cook and stir 1 minute, or until reduced slightly. Stir in wine and chicken stock and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste.
- Puree half of the sauce in a standard blender and return to saucepan. Or puree half of the sauce right in the saucepan with an immersion blender. Place over low heat to keep warm while you prepare the meatballs. (Add chicken stock as needed if sauce is getting too thick.)
- To make the meatballs, spread a thin layer of flour on a large plate and set a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet nearby. Use a teaspoon or 1-tablespoon scoop to portion meatball mixture into about 1 1/4-inch diameter ragged portions and place side by side on baking sheet. Gently roll each ragged portion between between cupped hands into a ball, returning meatballs to baking sheet as you go. Then gently roll each meatball in flour, shaking off any excess and return to baking sheet.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of meatballs and brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer browned meatballs to bowl. Repeat with remaining olive oil and meatballs.
- Add 1/3 cup water to empty skillet; cook and stir, scraping up any brown bits and add to sauce.
- Add browned meatballs and any accumulated liquid to sauce and gently stir to combine; bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover; simmer 5 to 7 minutes to cook meatballs through completely. Remove from heat to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer meatballs and sauce to cazuela or other shallow serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve.

Steps:
- Soak the bread in the milk. While the bread is soaking, chop the garlic very finely and put it in a bowl.
- Add meat, egg, soaked bread, chopped parsley, and a little salt. Mix everything until it is well integrated.
- Take portions of the mixture and give them a round shape. Coat them in flour and fry them in a pan with plenty of hot oil. When they get golden brown on all sides, take them out and set them aside on a plate with kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.
- Now chop the onions, carrots, and garlic very finely. Sauté everything in a saucepan with a dash of oil and fry it for about 5 minutes. Season, add the spoon of flour, and stir it until it dissolves.
- Pour in the wine, the tomato sauce, and a cup of water or broth. Let it cook for about 25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally so that the flour doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- As soon as the sauce is made, pass it through a blender or mixer. Finally, pour the sauce into the casserole, add the meatballs and let it cook all together for approximately 10 minutes.

ALBONDIGAS (SPANISH MEATBALLS)
A very popular Spanish tapas dish - I can't vouch for the authenticity, but it tastes great. Lamb can be used as a substitute for beef if desired. Taken from my blog at http://onceuponathyme.wordpress.com/2008/11/30/albondigas-spanish-meatballs/

Steps:
- Mix the mince with the egg and half the onion. Season with 1 stock cube and black pepper.
- Roll the mixture with your hands into ping pong sized balls and fry in oil until almost cooked (the meatballs can still be slightly pink in middle as they are going to simmer in the sauce). Drain all but 1tbsp oil in the pan, retaining the bit's of meat that are left in the bottom of the pan. Add the rest of the onions and some garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes - they should turn a beatiful meaty colour.
- Add the 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and a good sprinkling of mixed herbs (I used Herbs de Provence). Add in the red wine and crumble in the final stock cube, then season again if required.
- Simmer for 20 minutes so that the sauce thickens - longer if it requires it.
- Serving Suggestion - This can be served on it's own as part of a tapas meal, or you could serve these with spaghetti or some Spanish rice.
