Instructions
Rice
Use a medium-sized saucepan with a lid to bring the water to boil, add rice and salt and simmer until all the water has evaporated.
Meatballs
Meantime put almonds, garlic and anchovies into a blender or food processor and pulse until they form a paste.
Quarter the sandwich bread and onions, add them to the paste and pulse again until combined.
Fill the paste into a big bowl and add 1-3 cup of water, the minced beef, egg, mustard, salt and pepper, mix well.
Wetten your hand and form about 18 meatballs.
Heat up the oil in a big pan and fry the meatballs until they are well done.
Pepper-Olive-Sauce
Chop the deseeded peppers into small pieces.
Heat up the butter, flour and milk in a small saucepan and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Dissolve the vegetable stock cube in the water and add it along with salt and pepper, let simmer for a further 3 minutes.
Meantime chop up the parsley and olives, add them together with the lemon juice to the sauce. Let simmer for another minute and serve straight away.
