  4. Press mixture through a sieve into a small bowl; discard solids.
  5. Set aside.
  6. In a Dutch oven cook onion and the 2 cloves of garlic in hot oil over medium heat until onion is tender.
  7. Add tomato mixture, bouillon granules, and cumin.
  8. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
  9. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  10. Add cooked meatballs; stir gently to coat.
  11. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  12. To Make-Ahead: Prepare meatballs and sauce as directed. Cool. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, let thaw; place in a 4-quart pot. Cook, covered, until mixture comes to boiling and meatballs are heated through, gently stirring occasionally.
