Homemade meatballs
1
Juicy meatballs with rice and tender sauce will be a true decoration of your table. The combination of tomato paste and sour cream creates an unparalleled taste, while the lean composition of the dish makes it ideal for a family menu. These meatballs are a versatile option. You can choose to cook them on the stovetop or in the oven, and also experiment with ingredients: use oatmeal instead of rice or add peppers and other vegetables. One of the most important parts is preparing the mince — finely chopped onions and carrots add a special aroma to the dish, and broth instead of water makes the sauce richer.
