Preparation
2) Prepare the salsa. Process the onion and carrot, red wine and olive oil. Mix them in a pan with tomato sauce
3) Cut the bell pepper and chilies and discard their seeds; add it to the pan, season to your taste then put on the burner to begin cooking it. When the sauce is hot, add the meatballs and cook 10 minutes.
4) For the mushroom sauce, peel the onion and garlic and chop very finely. Cook separately in oil, until the onion is translucent. Slice the mushrooms, add them to the onion and sauté a few minutes, with the chopped cilantro. Add wine and cook a few more minutes, uncovered, to make the alcohol evaporate.
5) Pour the cream in the pan and simmer all the ingredients together a few more minutes, at least until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper, season with thyme and mix.
Serve the meatballs with some of the suggested salsa.
