Meat balls in chili bean sauce

A simple, quick dish I made while I was aiming to empty my fridge before moving to a new place.

Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 yellow onion
2 tbsp chili bean sauce
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove of garlic, mashed
0.25 cup red wine
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp vegetable oil
salt

Preparation
Chop and sautee the onion till its translucent. Add the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the beef , salt and don't stir for 2 minutes. Cut into 1 inch clusters. Add the other spices and continue cooking until the meat balls solidify. You don't want to break up the clusters.

When the balls are browned, add the wine and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust spices as necessary.

On the picture below the dish is served with no-knead bread and salad.
