Description

Meatballs- a very satisfying and at the same time very simple dish, which can be quite independent or served with a side dish. At home, such small balls of minced meat may well become an appetizing substitute for the same boring cutlets. You can cook minced meat for such meatballs from beef, pork or even poultry to your taste. The only difference is that ground chicken meatballs will cook faster than ground beef meatballs.

Such meatballs turn out very tasty if you cook them at home using our step-by-step recipe with a photo. In addition to meat, meatballs will also include sour cream with mayonnaise for tenderness and juiciness, breadcrumbs for density, and onions for more pronounced taste. Very often, all kinds of vegetables or even herbs are added to such meatballs, which you can also do. We will use spices in this dish to a minimum: the original taste of meat will already be very pronounced.

Let's start cooking meatballs for lunch or dinner!

Cooking steps

Pick up a piece of fresh beef or pork for cooking, rinse it thoroughly in cold water, then dry it and only then grind it in a meat grinder or using a food processor. In a deep saucepan, mix the chopped meat with finely chopped onion. Also add the indicated amount of sour cream with mayonnaise, a teaspoon of baking powder and all the breadcrumbs to the ingredients. Salt and pepper the minced meat to taste, add crushed garlic, then knead it thoroughly until smooth.



We should get a very dense and uniform minced meat, which we send to cool and infuse in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.



After the specified time, we continue cooking. We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper. With wet hands, we form neat small meatballs from all the minced meat and put them on a baking sheet.



After that, the choice: either cook meatballs in a pan, or in the oven. For the first option, we heat the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, put meatballs in portions on it and fry on all sides until golden brown and cooking meat. For the second option, we heat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the meatballs in the grill mode or just like that for 25 minutes.



We serve the finished dish to the table only hot with a salad of fresh vegetables, cooked potatoes or with boiled cereals and gravy. Delicious meatballs are ready!



Bon appetit!

Tell me, please, if you add zucchini and an egg, is it possible to freeze?
Answer: Maya, you can add zucchini, grated on a fine grater. The egg does not need to be added. The main trick is to beat the minced meat well, then without an egg nothing will fall apart, neither cutlets nor meatballs;). Of course you can freeze.

Julia: | October 27th, 2017 | 4:47 pm

And I freeze on cling film (both cutlets and dumplings, etc.) - everything easily leaves the film when you take it out of the freezer, and you don’t need to wash the board (but try to take it off the board again)))) I put cling film on the board ; there are meat products, and on the board in the freezer straight. As they freeze, I take it out, remove the board and wrap it in a film
Answer: Julia, thanks! Really convenient. I have been doing this for a long time and I advise everyone;). The article was written back in 2011.

I LIKED IT VERY MUCH

Ludmila: | December 7th, 2012 | 12:04 pm

Since we are talking about saving time here, I will share a recent discovery =))
It turns out that instead of rolling meatballs one at a time, you can make them using the chefs method, which is very effective when making meatballs on an industrial scale! =)
I recently saw the method in Oksana Putan's LiveJournal, and it was a discovery for me =) Therefore, you never know, maybe someone will also come in handy)
“Take some minced meat in your hand. And squeeze a little from the ring between the index and thumb. They pressed it a little, and with the fingers of the other hand they “removed” the finished meatball.” Oksana Putan.
Simple but fast =)

Anastasia: | November 29th, 2012 | 11:18 am

I've heard that if milk is used in minced meat, then such minced meat cannot be stored in the freezer ... Do you know anything about this?

Irina: | October 2nd, 2012 | 5:33 pm

Eh. Because of my youngest son's allergy to milk, I practically switched to dairy-free cooking of everything. We have meatballs only with onions and eggs :)
Freeze at least two servings. I want milk meatballs after your recipe :)

Maria: | July 20th, 2012 | 2:10 pm

Thanks for the great technology!
What else can replace white bread, son pours on wheat flour, corn, flax ... what other options are there to make the whole family tasty?

Answer: I, for example, sometimes add the remains of oatmeal in milk to minced meat. It also turns out delicious. Try this option.

Katama: | July 10th, 2012 | 5:31 pm

And how much milk should be - in which bread is soaked? Don't need to press? Does bread and milk go into meatballs?..

Answer: milk should be enough so that it is all absorbed into the bread. I can’t say for sure, because it depends on the volume of dishes and the size of the slices of bread. No need to press.

Svetlana: | April 6th, 2012 | 8:28 pm

Thank you for the recipe. For me, meatballs are also a lifesaver. But I did purely meat, apparently that's why they are harsh for me. Now I will do like you, with bread.

Yasenekk: | January 19th, 2012 | 1:21 pm

Thanks for the great idea! I froze chicken meatballs! I used to do it without bread, meatballs with the addition of bread increase during cooking, keep in mind :) It’s also convenient to put or put on a plastic bag on the board: then put a portion of meatballs into it, and the board is easier to wash. Thank you!!!

Masha Mironova: | December 1st, 2011 | 8:43 dp

Part fried in a slow cooker lightly, immediately with an onion, then poured a pack of frozen peas, half a glass of sour cream and garlic ... My man is in shock, this is a diet dish, he says, so, he says, I'm ready to starve every day!
Thank you so much, I myself would never have dared to make meatballs without an egg and other fuss)))

Answer: I cook them exactly the same way, only not with peas, but with green beans. Indeed, very tasty! Glad you liked it.

The abundance of meatballs and dumplings in the shop windows seems to be trying to nullify the industry of cooking real homemade minced meat!

And numerous tips from Internet chefs treat users with distorted facts about what meatballs are in general. Let's start by remembering that minced meat dishes with additives in addition to salt, pepper and other spices are most likely cutlets or meatballs.

How to choose meat for making delicious meatballs?

Meatballs, like steaks, are made from minced meat without fillers.

Where did meatballs come from? The word "fricadelle" is originally Italian and means "meatballs". But minced meat was learned to cook by housewives of all countries of the world almost simultaneously.

Meatballs are not a dish for a rich table, crackling from the abundance of dishes standing on it. This is budget food. for working families, and talking about the "tenderness" of the taste of meatballs is worth it only if you can afford not to save money and cook minced meat from the pulp of the first or even the highest grade. Alternatively, you can cook their trimmings (goulash), which are used for minced meat in order to save money, while the meatballs can turn out tasty, but they can hardly be called tender.

Nevertheless, these products are very much appreciated because they can be stored frozen for quite a long time. They can be used as a material for quick preparation of first or second courses.

Secrets and tricks of cooking

You can improve the taste of meatballs by mixing two varieties of minced meat. (beef and pork) in a ratio of 1:3. You can add some more ground meat (turkey, chicken, lamb), and this will add spice to the dish.

Classically, meatballs are made only slightly larger than the volume of minced meat, found in dumplings. And this is done just for speed of preparation. At any time, the hostess can get round meatballs from the freezer and cook them with minimal time.

Many argue that cooking meatballs without fillers is "not economical." And this is again a dispute about taste preferences! Some people prefer to eat a small bowl of delicious meatball soup without bread, rice, semolina or the like, and someone wants a large bowl of meatball soup with minced meat.

Recipe for classic meatballs

1. For a kilogram of beef, take three hundred to four hundred grams of lean pork and chop the meat in a meat grinder. Salt, pepper, thyme - to taste. In the resulting mass, you can add 1/6 of a large glass of water to give juiciness. One large onion is best ground mixed with meat. A few cloves of garlic - chop with a knife (however, you can use a garlic press) and also add to the mass. Mix everything very carefully. The degree of tenderness of our meatballs will depend on this. In the case of poorly ground or lazily mixed minced meat, they will still not be too tender!
2. The last step in cooking will be rolling balls the size of a small plum. When freezing, divide the meatballs into as many servings as you intend to use them to feed a certain number of people.

What can you cook with frozen or freshly cooked meatballs in your arsenal? First of all, lots of delicious soups. The fastest one is vermicelli soup.

How to cook soup with vermicelli and meatballs

1. While the water is boiling, sauté chopped vegetables in a pan: onions, carrots, parsley, dill, basil and so on. If you like, add tomatoes or tomato paste. Throw meatballs and chopped potatoes into boiling water. Lastly, put the vermicelli, read how much it should cook. Don't forget to salt and pepper the soup 2-3 minutes before the end of cooking.
2. Volume of ingredients: for 150 grams of meatballs, a couple of medium-sized potatoes, one carrot, greens - to taste, vermicelli - 50 grams. You will get two servings of soup. Of course, the volume of the finished dish can be increased by taking more ingredients.
3. In addition to vermicelli, you can use rice, buckwheat, beans, but they should be cooked for a different amount of time. For example, throw the beans into the water 20 minutes before sending the meatballs there. Rice is enough for 10 minutes of cooking before the meatballs and ten to fifteen with them. Buckwheat is cooked for a total of no more than ten minutes. You can add potatoes to the soup (the amount of time for cooking it depends on the variety), or you can do without it. Soup of potatoes and meatballs (without pasta and cereals) is also very tasty!

How to cook delicious stewed meatballs

1. How to cook them? After frying frozen meatballs in vegetable oil with onions and carrots, you can put them in a small amount of boiling water, so that the water almost reaches the surface of the stewed meatballs. If there is a slow cooker, then it is even easier with it - just do the first stage of cooking in the frying mode, and then turn on the stew.
2. In addition, you can make white sauce from a small amount of any broth + salt, pepper, a tablespoon of flour (for half a glass of broth). The flour is added at the last moment and the sauce is no longer brought to a strong boil. Stewed meatballs can be served with or without a side dish, depending on your desire. The amount of ingredients will depend on the number of guests.

Delicious fried meatballs

1. Rolling non-frozen meatballs in ground breadcrumbs, semolina or flour, you can fry them until cooked(not frozen - 4-5 minutes) and serve with a side dish.
2. For satiety, you can fry them together with pieces of lard (not smoked and not salted). On hot meatballs, if desired, you can put a little grated cheese. Remember that both cheese and lard are already too much, choose one or the other.

Delicious pea soup with meatballs

1. Having frozen meatballs in your refrigerator or cooking them fresh, you can make a very tasty pea soup.
2. Soak the peas overnight(Note that pre-soaked peas do not cook for long). Rinse and refill with water. Put the pot on the fire and cook until done. Put the meatballs into the broth. If desired, for a richness of taste, you can add a piece of smoked lard or chicken. Sauté onions and carrots in a skillet. When the meatballs are ready, transfer the vegetables to the pan, add salt and herbs.

If you are very limited in time, you can buy semi-finished meatballs at the store. However, of course, their taste will be different from homemade ones.

Homemade meatballs - options

Meatballs with gravy go well with a side dish of potatoes, any cereal, with a salad of fresh vegetables. Meat balls can be prepared from various types of meat and fish, which makes it possible to experiment with this dish.

• 400 gr minced meat mixed;
• egg;
• 100 gr soft cheese;
• 250 gr tomato puree;
• 125 grams of water;

• 50 gr green onion feathers;
• ½ tsp salt;
• spices "for meat" to taste;
• 1 tsp mixtures of aromatic herbs;
• 1 tsp Sahara;
• a couple of tablespoons of flour.

We chop the green onion.

We rub the cheese on a fine grater.

Mix the egg with salt and spices for meat. Add cheese and mix well. Pour in the breading and mix again - you should get a mixture that slightly gathers into lumps.

We combine the prepared mass with minced meat and onions. We knead with our hands.

We divide the minced meat into balls weighing about 30 g, bread in flour and fry until golden brown in hot oil.

While the products are fried, prepare the sauce: combine mashed potatoes, sugar, herbs in a saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. Dilute the sauce with a glass of water. If the puree is thick, you can increase the amount of liquid.

Bring the sauce to a boil over low heat, lower the finished meatballs, simmer, cover with a lid for a third of an hour.

On a note. To make the meatballs dense and juicy, beat the bag of minced meat several times against the bowl in which it was kneaded. It is this procedure that helps to give a good ability to hold the shape, and not the number of eggs.
