Classic meatballs in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make classic meatballs in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Choose pork with a small amount of fat. This will give the finished meatballs juiciness. If the onion is large, then one large onion will be enough. Take long grain rice.

2. STEP 2

   

   Scroll the pork through a meat grinder and turn it into minced meat. Boil the rice in boiling water until half cooked. Do not add raw rice to meatballs. When cooked, it will increase in size and grains of rice will protrude from the meatballs, turning them into “hedgehogs”.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a spacious bowl, combine minced meat and boiled rice. Peel the onion, rinse and chop. It can be crushed in a chopper, passed through a meat grinder along with minced meat, or finely chopped with a knife. Add the onion to the bowl with the minced meat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Break one egg. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Add salt and spices to taste. For spices I use a little paprika and dried basil. The choice of spices is entirely up to your taste. Mix all ingredients until smooth and beat the minced meat on the bottom of the bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour some vegetable oil into a hot frying pan. With wet hands, form the meatballs and place them in the pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Over high heat, fry the meatballs on all sides until golden brown.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a separate glass, mix tomato paste with water.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour tomato sauce over the meatballs and bring to a boil. Then cover with a lid, reduce the heat and simmer under the lid for 40 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   While stewing, turn the meatballs 1-2 times so that they cook more evenly. About 10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the bay leaf to the pan.

    Bon appetit!

I love this site, you can always find something to cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I came across a recipe for classic meatballs in a frying pan. True, I already had the minced meat ready. And I opened a jar of tomatoes/pepper in this “good” and stewed everything, it turned out great. 👍🏽
