Meatballs in Italian style
My family loves the dishes of minced meat: cutlets, "hedgehogs& quot; stuffed vegetables, meat dumplings, and of course, meatballs. In Ushakov's explanatory dictionary the word "meatballs&am p;quot; explains how food in the form of pellets of any meat. All true, but for me it is true that this dish is very tasty, and a filling of minced meat often depends on the country where the meatballs are prepared, and the imagination of the hostess. I recommend to try meatballs in the Italian style.
