Meatballs are a traditional dish that has transcended borders and methods of preparation. Their origin dates back to various cultures that adapted this recipe from seasoned ground meat shaped into small balls. In Latin America, meatballs are enjoyed with variations unique to each country: in Mexico they are often served in soup or with spicy sauces, in Colombia they are accompanied by rice and plantain, and in Argentina they can be made with different types of meat and side dishes. Furthermore, in some places they are known as "bolas de carne" or "pelotas de carne". This dish reflects the regional gastronomic richness and the creativity to incorporate seasonal ingredients, adapting the traditional recipe to the fresh harvests available.
