Semolina meatballs: a recipe in a pan
What needs to be done first to prepare this dish? Boil semolina in milk or water. Remember that it should turn out to be very thick, otherwise it will be difficult to form semolina pockets. The recipe is not difficult to repeat. The sequence of our actions will be as follows:
- For half a liter of milk we need to take half a glass of semolina. Pour the liquid into a saucepan and put on medium heat. When the milk boils and begins to rise, gently, constantly stirring, pour in the semolina. Add sugar and salt to taste.
- Turn off the stove and remove the porridge. We give time to thicken and cool.
- We break one egg into the porridge and mix everything well until a homogeneous mass is formed.
