quite dry. Let the mixture cool. In a bowl mix together the veal,
breadcrumbs, Parmesaon cheese, raisins, nutmeg, and the tomato mixture.

oil in the skillet and saute the meatballs until lightly browned. As

onion until it is very soft. Add the stock, wine, thyme, oregano, and
bay leaf, and simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs, cover, and cook over low
heat until they are done, about 30 minutes. If necessary to cover the
meatballs, add more stock and wine in equal amounts.
Serve the meatballs with rice or any starchy vegetable, using the
broth as gravy. The broth may be a little thin, or too abundant, in
which case lift our the meatballs to a serving dish and keep warm.
Reduce the broth over brisk heat until it is slightly thickened.

1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon egg replacer (or use cornstarch if unavailable)
Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tbsp. vegetable shortening or beef lard
3/4 cup of milk
2 cups flour
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. baking powder (Royal is suggested)
Approx. 2 cups shortening (or beef lard) for frying
Cooking Instructions:
Melt the 2 tbsp. butter or margarine and 1 tbsp. of shortening together in a pan or in the microwave. Heat the milk (or water) until hot, but not boiling. Combine the melted fat with the milk (or water). In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well. Make a hole in the mound and pour the liquid in the middle. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture. Once mixed thoroughly, turn the dough out onto a flat, clean surface and knead well. Separate into 12 equally sized balls. Roll out each ball into a circle 1/2 cm thick. With your finger, poke a hole in the middle of each circle. In a large frying pan, melt 1-2 cups of shortening or lard over medium high heat. Fry each circle to a golden color in the melted shortening or lard. You might need to lower the temperature to medium while fying the batch. Transfer tortas to a plate with paper towels or paper bags to remove excess oil. Eat while still warm with dulce de leche spread or mermelada. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or better yet, yerba mate.
