Meatballs are one of the alternatives to cutlets, which many people cook too often.
In addition, this version of the meat dish has many advantages.
The meatballs turn out more tender, rich, and filling, noted Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues at the online publication BelNovosti.
How to make classic meatballs?
List of products
- 800 grams of meat (preferably pork with a little fat);
- two onions;
- two spoons of natural tomato paste;
- half a glass of rice;
- egg;
- one and a half glasses of water;
- salt and spices.
Cooking process
The first thing to do is to cook the rice. You don't need to cook the grains until they are completely ready, but it is not recommended to add them to the mincemeat in their raw form.
The point is that the best option is rice that is half-cooked.
Let's start working with the meat. Put it and the onion in a meat grinder and grind until smooth. Add salt and the spices you need.
Add the egg and mix well. Then add the rice.
Afterwards, the cook advises to beat the minced meat.
Heat the frying pan. Fry until the crust appears. Mix the paste with water and pour into the pan. Then reduce the heat and cook for forty minutes.
When serving, you can use fresh herbs.
