Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 oF (180 oC).
- Dice the slices of bread. Put in a bowl with the milk and leave to soak for 5 minutes.
- Finely chop the onions and garlic.
- In a large bowl, with your hands or a wooden spoon, mix well the soaked bread, onions, garlic, Haitian spices, minced meat, eggs, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining Haitian spices for the sauce. Form into balls with 30 g of preparation (the size of a ping pong ball). Place the balls apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the balls are cooked and browned. If needed, broil them for a few minutes so that the meatballs are well browned.
Serve with spicy tomato sauce and rice.
