Meatballs: the usual recipe

Ingredients:

• Minced beef – 500 g
• Bread crumbs – 100 g
• Thick sour cream – 100 g
• Chicken egg – 1 pc.
• Dill - bunch
• Salt, pepper - to taste
• Sunflower oil - for deep frying

Manufacturing method:

1. Salt and pepper the minced meat, add sour cream and bread crumbs (regular loaf crumb, crushed in the palms of your hands or breadcrumbs).
2. Beat the egg white with salt so that the foam holds its shape, and gently add it into the bowl with the minced meat.
3. Pour the yolk in there. Then add the chopped bunch of dill.
4. Knead the ingredients with your hands and check the raw minced meat for taste.
5. Divide the finished minced meat into several parts, rolling them into smooth balls.
6. Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan - it should fill it to 2 heights of meatballs. As soon as the oil gets hot, the balls are carefully placed there and fried until red. With all this, you should not put all the meatballs in at once - it is better to break them into portions, since the balls should not touch each other in the pan.
7. After the meatballs have a nice crust, catch them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a dry frying pan. When all the previously molded balls are fried, add a little warm boiled water to the frying pan with them, and simmer the dish under the lid for another 20 minutes, so that the center is baked.

Step-by-step recipe with photos

Almost all housewives often confuse meatballs in tomato sauce with meatballs or meatballs, but they have little in common. The main difference between these dishes is their size: meatballs and meatballs are actually always no larger than a chicken egg, while meatballs are the size of a tennis ball. You don’t understand yet, but everyone describes the size of such a meat ball to themselves, forming it in their own palm - its specific size is considered a good portion for the first meal for a person.

Meatballs are prepared only from beef, excluding pork and lamb. An easy exception to this rule could be a small piece of lard so that your dish does not taste too dry. By the way, you can add different spices to your own taste and enhance the smell of the meat balls - I added a little fresh thyme to the tomato sauce.

So, let's prepare all the necessary products for making beef meatballs in tomato sauce and start cooking!

We rinse the beef pulp in water, be sure to cut off all the films and veins, cut them into small cubes so that they can be more easily inserted into the meat grinder pipe. Peel the onion, rinse and cut in half. We will leave one half for the sauce.

Grind the second half together with a piece of lard and chopped beef in a meat grinder.

Salt and pepper the minced meat and beat a chicken egg into it. Mix thoroughly.

Add the ricotta and breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly again.

With our hands we form a meatball according to the size of our own palm. Let men form their own or enjoy the size of your portion.

We will make other meatballs in the same way.

Grease the pan with vegetable oil and place a portion of meatballs in it; the others can be frozen if you do not intend to cook them all.

In a small bowl, dilute the tomato paste in a small amount of water, grate the remaining half of the onion on a small grater, add a little salt and pepper. Add 2 pinches of sweet sand. Add thyme and stir.

Pour the tomato sauce onto the meatballs with a tablespoon and place in the oven, preheating it to 180-200 C. Bake the dish for 25-30 minutes.

After the designated time, remove the pan and let the dish cool slightly. Serve directly in the form. Now you understand how to cook beef meatballs in tomato sauce!
