Steps

To make the beef meatballs in stew

To start, place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl, then add half a chopped onion and a tablespoon of currants and pine nuts.
Proceed and add a teaspoon of salt, the egg white, breadcrumbs, and if you like, one or two tablespoons of grated cheese.
At this point, mix everything by hand and form the meatballs into spherical shapes. Heat the pan, greased with extra virgin olive oil, and sear the meatballs until a slight crust forms.
Continue by heating some extra virgin olive oil in a large casserole, sautéing half a chopped white onion with a chopped carrot. After a few minutes, add the previously seared meatballs and cover completely with water.
To complete the ingredients, add a teaspoon of salt, the peas, and mushrooms. Mix everything well and let it cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes with the lid on.
To finish, turn off the heat and serve your stewed meatballs on a deep dish, garnishing with pepper and thyme if desired.
