Traditionally this was taken along to the fields and eaten at lunch by the farm workers. Today the tortilla can be found in fancy restaurants and country roadhouses. This one is common in Andalusia.
These highly spiced meatballs are also made in North Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, and Greece and are most frequently known as kefta. In Spain, they are called Albondigas and this is Biatriz's recipe, who lives outside Seville.
