The meatballs in the sauce are delicious both from meat and from minced meat. Today we will consider both options presented. It is worth noting that such dishes require a minimum amount of components and free time.
1. Meatballs with rice in tomato paste sauce
Essential ingredients for the dish:
- pitted young beef - 600 g;
- sweet onions - 2 pcs.;
- iodized salt, allspice - add to taste;
- long-grain rice - 1/3 cup;
- tomato paste - 4 large spoons;

The process of preparing the meat base
The meatballs in the sauce are tasty and tender from any kind of meat. We decided to buy only young boneless beef. It must be washed, cut into medium pieces, and then chopped in a meat grinder along with sweet onions. Next, to the minced meat, pour boiled long-grain rice, black allspice, iodized salt, break the chicken egg and mix everything until smooth.
Formation and heat treatment of dishes
Meatballs in sauce are very easy to prepare. To do this, make small balls from the prepared meat, roll them in white flour, and then place them in boiling water in a saucepan. After 20 minutes, add tomato paste and granulated sugar to the broth where the meat is stewed. In this composition, the meatballs need to be cooked for another 7-9 minutes, and then removed from the heat and serve with the side dish.
2. Delicate fish meatballs in a sauce of thick sour cream and heavy cream
Essential Ingredients:
- any fish (not bony) - 700 g;
- sweet onions - 2 pcs.;
- iodized salt, allspice - add to taste;
- parsley, fresh dill - in a bunch;
- fat sour cream - 200 g;
- cream 40% - 100 ml;
- sunflower oil - 45-55 ml;
- drinking water - 1/3 cup;
- wheat flour - a couple of small spoons;

Cooking process
Meatballs in fish sauce are prepared as quickly and easily as a similar dish made from meat ingredient. Thus, you should take any fish that does not contain many bones, wash it well, and then clean it from the fins, skin, entrails, head and ridge. As a result, you should get only tender and soft filet. It is required to grind it in a blender along with sweet onions, and then season with chopped parsley, dill, allspice, chicken egg and iodized salt.
After the minced fish is completely ready, it is necessary to make small meatballs from it, roll them in flour and put them in a very hot saucepan with sunflower oil. When the balls are lightly browned, they need to pour in drinking water and heavy cream. In this composition, meatballs should be stewed for a quarter of an hour. At the end of the dish, put thick sour cream, bring it to a boil, pepper and salt, and then remove from heat. Serve such a lunch with a fragrant milk broth, preferably with a side dish, wheat bread and fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
