Meatballs with gravy - the easiest thing to make from minced meat. Because in minced meat, except for onions, egg white and spices, nothing else is added. These are not meatballs for which you need to cook rice separately, and not cutlets with which you need to be smart so that they turn out juicy and do not have time to burn out during frying. With meatballs, everything is easy. They are not fried, but stewed in thick creamy tomato sauce with roasted vegetables. Actually, the secret to the success of meatballs is 90 percent dependent on delicious gravy, and with us it will turn out amazing, I promise you. Let's start cooking meatballs with gravy as soon as possible, the recipe with a photo was taken step by step for those who are taking their first steps in home cooking. I wish you success and delicious lunch or dinner!

Ingredients for Meatballs with Gravy:

• Minced meat from pork and beef - 350-400 g,
• Large onion - 1 piece (or 2 small ones),
• Carrots - 1 piece,
• The protein of one chicken egg,
• Vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons,
• Mayonnaise or fat sour cream - 2 tablespoons,
• Tomato paste - 1 tablespoon
• Wheat flour - 1 teaspoon with a slide,
• Salt - to taste
• Seasoning hops-suneli - to taste,
• Green onion - 5-6 feathers

1. For meatballs, I prefer to take homemade minced meat, which I scroll from pork and beef. And I take meat in equal proportions. Such minced meat is obtained with the desired consistency - non-liquid, moderately dense, but not hard and not rubbery. It will be convenient to work with him, forming meatballs. Of course, you can also use store-bought high-quality minced meat (but keep in mind that it is made from tough meat, which is mercilessly soaked in water, so saving on purchased minced meat really dubious). So, put the right amount of mixed minced meat in a bowl. Take an egg and separate the white from the yolk. If you find it difficult to do this in the traditional way, pouring an egg from one shell to another, you can simply gently break the egg into a cup and scoop out the yolk with a tablespoon. If it breaks and a few drops of yolk get into the protein, nothing bad will happen. I have a lot of onions in the recipe, because half goes to minced meat, and half to fry. For minced meat, the onion can be scrolled through a meat grinder, but it is best to grate it, then the minced meat will be especially tender. Do not forget to salt and season the minced meat with spices. Focus on your taste. But remember that an undersalted dish can be salted, but with oversalted everything will be much more difficult.

2. I mix the minced meat well, and then I roll meat balls the size of Walnut. Wet your palms in water, then the minced meat will not stick to your hands. We will not fry the meatballs - we will immediately put them in the gravy.

3. For gravy, I finely cut the remaining onion, wash the carrots, clean and grate them. We spread the vegetables in a pan, add vegetable oil, mix and fry over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir, make sure nothing burns!

5. Pour boiling water into the pan (it took me 1.5 cups). I mix. Waiting for the gravy to boil.

6. I transfer the meat balls-meatballs to the boiling gravy. Be careful not to pour out all the meatballs at once, spread them out in small batches, distributing them evenly in the gravy. I cover the pan with a lid. I turn the heat down to medium. Simmer meatballs with gravy for about 25 minutes. During this time, you can prepare a side dish for meat dish. This time I decided to boil the pasta.

7. At the end of cooking, sprinkle the meatballs with finely chopped green onion. Other fresh or dried herbs can also be used.

Delicious, juicy and delicious meatballs ready, bon appetit!

Minced beef meatballs Italian dish is interesting, but controversial. The fact is that for all their simplicity, they have some of their own characteristics when cooking. How often can you hear from the chef - My meatballs are the best! And after you try, you mentally do not share this phrase. To be honest, I experimented quite a lot before I settled on this particular recipe.

I learned it from my mother, who, in turn, heard it from an old Italian woman who at one time fled to Russia with her family. It would seem that if you liked it, do it all the time, but I am periodically seized by a passion for experimentation and, of course, I also experimented with the recipe for meatballs for a long time. However, the old experience won out and I again returned to the beginning of the path. Now I am posting this recipe for you.

Cooking

In principle, there are no particular difficulties here, I think you will succeed tasty dish. Let's start! Since we use ready-made ones, we don’t have to waste time scrolling meat in a meat grinder. Therefore, we will make a minimum of preparations. Finely chop the parsley leaves on a cutting board. Try not to use stems at all, even the thinnest ones. There is nothing terrible about them, but they do not boil completely and crunch unpleasantly on the teeth.

Now immediately put all the ingredients for minced meatballs, except for garlic, in a large bowl with high edges. Next, crush the slices in a special device. If you don't have it, no problem. Take two strong tablespoons and crush the slices between them.

Now let's get to the very important point, let's start kneading the minced meat in the same way as we would knead the dough. Moreover, it must be interfered with with bare hands, and not with the help of a food processor or other device. Thus, firstly, you will achieve better results, and secondly, you can beat the minced meat on the table or just with your hands the way we did with. Only in this way will you get a strong, non-spreading minced meat that holds its shape well when cooking or frying.

When the minced meat is properly mixed and beaten off, roll a “sausage” of medium thickness out of it, about 5-6 cm in diameter. Now we perform a simple molding movement: we pinch off a piece from the “sausage” and roll a ball out of it between the palms. We put the resulting balls in even rows on a cutting board. From it it will be convenient to put all the minced meatballs in Italian into the pan at once, at once, which we will do.

On olive oil fry them up a bit. Then, then, ready meal will be significantly tastier than cooking meatballs raw. Then, together with the oil, move the meatballs to the cooking pot. Instead of a saucepan, you can use a clay or ceramic pot, which is placed in the oven.

And now it's time to reveal main secret. We will cook our meatballs from minced meat not in water, but immediately in sauce. Isn't it interesting? This is nothing but the real italian sauce. First, fry the onion and chopped garlic in a pan until golden brown, stirring often.

Next, in a medium-sized bowl on a coarse grater. It is best if you remove the skin from them in advance. This is easy to do if you place each tomato in boiling water for a few seconds. Then, at the same time, put all the indicated ingredients into the tomato gruel, fried onions and garlic along with oil from the pan and mix several times until more or less homogeneous.

On low heat, cook meatballs from minced meat in Italian for about 3 hours. Now we need to point out a few features. If you think that beef has an inexpressive taste and needs to be strengthened, you can dilute it with pork and veal. Milk can be replaced with sour cream, there will be no deterioration in taste. The amount of seasonings and salt is indicated conditionally, more or less approximately. So many people, so many tastes. Through several experiments, empirically, you yourself will quickly find out how much you need to put them in order for the household to be satisfied.

The sauce really includes both, and tomatoes. The fact is that ripe, properly ripened tomatoes will give a delicious taste and aroma, and tomato paste will make the liquid slurry of tomatoes thicker. So rest assured, you will need both. If the sauce thickens too much during the preparation of this dish, you can pour half a glass of water into it. That's actually all. Enjoy your meal!

How to make minced meatballs for soup recipe with step by step photos

Cooking:

1. The taste of ready-made meatballs largely depends on the meat from which they are made. Of course, you need to use high-quality fresh meat. At the same time, the meat should not be fatty, because it will leave an ugly greasy coating on the surface of the soup.

It is best to use a mixture of several types of meat for meatballs, but you can cook them with pure pork, beef, lamb or chicken. Scroll a suitable piece of meat through a meat grinder. It is even advisable to pass it through a meat grinder twice, so that the minced meat is the most tender.

2. To make meatballs juicy, you can add onions to them. For two hundred grams of meat, half a small onion will be enough.

Onions must either be very finely chopped or grated on a fine grater (this best option). Add the onion to the minced meat, salt and add ground black pepper or a mixture of peppers to give the meatballs a richer taste.

If you are using completely dry meat or just want to make the meatballs as juicy as possible, you can pour a tablespoon of melted butter into the minced meat.

3. Now mix the minced meat thoroughly. This should be done not with a spoon, but with your hands, so that all the ingredients are most evenly distributed.

You can even beat off the minced meat. To do this, pick up the mincemeat and forcefully drop it onto the cutting board, repeating this about ten times.

4. After kneading the minced meat, you can begin to form meatballs. Immediately place a plate of water next to you and wet your palms so that the meatballs do not stick to your hands.

Using a teaspoon, take a small amount of minced meat. Meatballs should not be large, the most suitable size is 1.5-2.5 centimeters.

5. Now roll the minced meat between your palms to make a round ball. Put the finished ball on a plate, moisten your hands again with water and roll the same balls from the rest of the minced meat.

Try to make them all the same size.

6. Pour water into a saucepan and boil it. Add some salt and bay leaf to boiling water. Put the meatballs into the water and wait for it to boil again. Now make the fire a little smaller. When foam appears on the surface, be sure to remove it with a spoon.

7. Boil the meatballs for seven to ten minutes, depending on the size of the balls. After that, carefully remove the meatballs from the broth with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate.

Now cook soup with potatoes and vegetables on this broth, and return the meatballs to the pan when the soup is completely ready. Thanks to this, the soup will turn out delicious, and the meatballs in it will remain whole, beautiful and tender.
