Just made this for my family. They loved it. Love from 🇨🇦

I love Omar Alibhoy, his tapas, excellenté!👌🏽

[@nicolashelton7533]

Great to see a chef thinking about every aspect of economy by cooking the potatoes and meatballs in the oven at the same time. so many other tv chefs still act as if there is unlimited budget ( and someone else to clear up)

[@thespanishchef]

I am a very busy person, father of 2 and the pandemic has hit us all. I am so conscious about waste (food, energy, resources...) I don't preheat the oven ever unless strictly necessary. I was brought up like that

[@gazzidgebbqs1209]

Very nice idea and a great cook, thank you

[@jayvillanueva6778]

I do not eat wheat bread due to allergies but since I can tolerate oatmeal I get oatmeal in my minced meat for meatballs I use half meat and half minced vegetables to help on the CO2 bill

[@vanessalingwood9905]

[@marteriamusik]

Thank you for your compliment. I hope my recipe has been able to help you in your cooking.

[@user-xz4eq2ci6h]

Hey Omar how many albondigas recipes has Spain can you give any regional recipes?

[@santichamorro167]

Podias hacer una vez una empanada?

[@user-dt1ze4vz6m]

I still did not get my plate! 🥺🥺🥺🥺 4:50

[@edply25]

I have just discovered your great channel! You are so talented! Can't wait to try many of these recipes. Word of advice to get more viewers...change your titles to dollars instead of the pound. There are so many people in the English speaking world who use the Dollar vs. the Pound.

[@daniel3139]

do you have a trick to pill garlic?

[@vaazig]

@@DaveDVideoMaker Pro tip. Don't peel it. I have a fine grater and it's very fast and easy. One is left with the husk while the flesh is grated. In Spain we use the same trick with tomatoes for dishes like Fideuà. It produces a mushy pulp with no bits.

[@daniel3139]

@@DaveDVideoMaker no no omar have a trick he showed in his video but i forgot what it was

[@vaazig]

@@DaveDVideoMaker You're doing it wrong! 😉 I grate them with the peel, so there is no more faffing about. Paella, yup. Same.

[@vaazig]

@@DaveDVideoMaker yeah, I watched the same video and tried it out in a garlic crusher. Didn't work with mine as everything got stuck. I didn't pick up that trick until I saw it on "Sorted food" last year. Works every time.

[@ronniedeila1054]

What temp for a fan assisted oven? You say on video 220 but on webpage it says 200, but doesn't mention fan assisted. Website recipe mentions reducing wine by half too which I assume is a mistake.

[@marteriamusik]

Thank you for your compliment. I hope my recipe has been able to help you in your cooking.
