Ground beef is a great source of the B vitamin niacin, which benefits energy metabolism. Goodbye, colds! With their essential oils shallots pathogens the garbage.

Of course, a true Spanish tapas evening includes more of the Spanish trifles, although albóndigas are a classic. Try them with Marinated Herb Olives,  Quesadillas with colorful salsa, or aromatic Garlic-lime shrimps with aioli.

Peel and finely dice onion and 2 cloves of garlic and sauté in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Place in a bowl with minced meat. Knead well with fennel, paprika, coriander and egg and season with salt and pepper. Form approx. 1.5" large balls from the mass with your hands.
