One of our best-kept secrets here in southern Spain is the intense cold of our winters. (Especially in the mountains.) For centuries before the advent of central heating, field labourers had to stock up on nourishing, warming food in order to get through a day’s work in the bitter cold. This leads us onto another of our best-kept secrets. The wonderful range of stews, roasts and hotpots which have evolved here in the Serranía de Ronda. Estofado andaluz (Andalucian Hotpot) is one of them!

Albondigas can be found in almost every tapas bar in Ronda (and Spain) throughout the year, and are typically served piping hot, but cool down remarkably quickly outside of the pot. Albondigas – Spanish Meatballs in Tomato Sauce are available in almost all bars and they will have their own slightly different recipe.
Generally there are two types of sauce the meatballs are cooked in, the rich red tomato sauce, and the gravy style pale garlic sauce albondigas claras. It is important to realise that the words ‘tomato sauce’ do not do justice to the flavour of the sauce, this is not “ketchup”, it is a delicious tomato and olive oil based sauce that is quite unique to this recipe.
