   How to make meatballs with vegetables in a frying pan? First of all, prepare all the necessary products. In the recipe I used assorted frozen vegetables, but you can prepare the dish with fresh vegetables, collected from the garden or purchased at the store. Minced meat can be chicken, meat or a mixture of several types of meat. Tomato sauce can be replaced with tomato juice or ketchup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel and rinse the onion. Chop half the onion as finely as possible and add it to the mince. Add salt to taste, add your favorite dry spices and mix everything thoroughly. Leave the minced meat to sit for about 10-15 minutes.

   Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Chop the other half of the onion and lightly fry. Add the remaining vegetables to the onions. Stirring, cook for about 5-10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour tomato sauce and half a glass of boiling water into the vegetables, add salt to taste and mix everything. Add the meat balls to the vegetables. Stir gently until the meatballs are submerged in the flavorful sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat on the stove to just below medium. Leave the meatballs with vegetables to simmer until all components are fully cooked. It took me about 20-25 minutes (depending on the size of the vegetables and meatballs).

For dinner we had meatballs stewed with vegetables in a delicious sauce! Although there were enough vegetables to serve as a side dish, I also made mashed potatoes to go with the meatballs. It was delicious! I had minced pork. I added onion, a clove of garlic and two thin slices of white bread, ground in a blender, and also ground them in a blender. Having formed the meatballs, I put them in a frying pan and fried them on both sides until golden brown. Instead of frozen ones, I took fresh vegetables - carrots, eggplant, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and garlic. I fried them in vegetable oil for 10 minutes. Then I added tomato paste, half a glass of hot water and meatballs. I stewed the meatballs with vegetables in a frying pan under the lid for 20 minutes. They turned out tasty, plump, with the aroma of garlic. The vegetable sauce is thick, with a rich tomato flavor. Thank you very much for the recipe!
