Welcome to the channel and introduce the recipe for fried meatballs.

List the ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef, 2 tablespoons sofrito, 1 tablespoon parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped onions, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons green pepper, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 3 cloves garlic, 1 hot pepper, 1 package chicken bouillon, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 cup milk, 2 slices bread, and 1 cup flour.

Remove the crust from the bread and blend it with the other ingredients, letting it sit for 10 minutes.

Mix all the ingredients together, emphasizing that the lime juice cleans the meat and that washing ground beef is unnecessary.

Let the mixture marinate for 30 minutes.

Form the meat mixture into balls, dip them in flour, and prepare for frying.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs for 6 minutes until they are ready to eat.
