Description
Tender meatballs, a recipe which a friend shared a grandmother with 9 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Everyone has different tastes, but these cakes can never have too many - all eaten. In my version, the recipe repeatedly "tested" by an adult. The result is the same. I hope you will like it.
Ingredients
-
Minced meat
500 g
-
Zucchini
2 piece
-
Chicken egg
1 piece
-
Parmesan
2 Tbsp
-
Bread crumbs
2 Tbsp
-
Lemon
1 piece
-
Saffron
1 pack
-
Zira
1 tsp
-
Broth
300 ml
-
Vegetable oil
2 Tbsp
-
Salt
-
Black pepper
Cooking
Zucchini cut in half (crosswise), remove the pulp. The pulp is crushed with a knife and drain off the liquid (leave for 15-20 minutes in the strainer).
In the beef add the Parmesan cheese, ground crackers, eggs, the pulp of the zucchini and cumin (Zira). Salt, pepper.
Formable small (slightly larger than a walnut), meat balls, fry in vegetable oil. To be honest, the step of "roasting" I usually miss.
For the gravy-sauce: juice of 1 small lemon pour in the broth and bring to a boil (in General, be guided by your taste, perhaps the juice of half a lemon will be enough). As needed salt, add the saffron. For lovers of a thick sauce, add in 1-2 tbsp of starch in the gravy, cook until thick.
Fried meatballs to put in the pan with sauce, cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes.
Can be served immediately, but you can give meat balls "soak up" the sauce. Garnish to your taste.
Squash "preparations" remaining after removal of the pulp (Step 1), can be stuffed with meat or vegetables, bake in oven or cook others, a convenient/popular way. "Empty" squash stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, longer tried.
