Meatballs differ from cutlets in that the former are made with the addition of cereals and vegetables.
Meatballs made from minced meat or fish (less often vegetable) are formed into balls and breaded in flour, not breadcrumbs, then fried on both sides until golden brown. Usually, after this, the meatballs are poured with sauce (usually tomato) and simmered for several minutes, but sometimes the sauce is served separately. I offer you a recipe for making meatballs with rice and vegetables in tomato and sour cream sauce.
Ингредиенты
Minced meat (pork + beef) - 0.5 kg
Parboiled long-grain rice - 0.5 cups
Onions - 2 pcs.
Carrots - 1 pc.
Egg - 1 pc.
Vegetable oil
Ground black pepper
For the sauce:
Tomato paste - 5 tbsp. l.
Sour cream - 3 tbsp. l.
Water - 2 glasses
Рецепт
1. Rice (I use long grain), pour into a saucepan, fill with cold water and put on fire.
