Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make meatballs without rice in a frying pan with gravy? Very simple! To begin, prepare the ingredients according to the list. You can use any minced meat: pork, beef, chicken or even fish. Mine is made from lean pork. In addition to salt and pepper, you can add your own spices to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. If you or your children do not like onions in dishes, you can omit them altogether.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the greens, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, cilantro, dill, or use a mixture of different herbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, combine the minced meat, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper. If you wish, you can add a clove of garlic passed through a press to the minced meat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead the minced meat thoroughly with your hands until smooth and beat it into a bowl, collecting it into a lump.

6. STEP 6

   

   Form the minced meat into even round meatballs slightly larger than a walnut.

7. STEP 7

   

   For breading, pour a little flour into a bowl. You can also bread the meatballs in breadcrumbs.

8. STEP 8

   

   Dredge the meatballs in flour on all sides and shake off any excess.

9. STEP 9

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the meatballs and fry on all sides until golden brown. At the end, reduce the heat to minimum.

10. STEP 10

    

    While the meatballs are frying, prepare the sauce. You can replace tomato sauce with tomato paste or crushed tomatoes in their own juice.

11. STEP 11

    

    Mix tomato sauce with water and soy sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and stir until smooth. I didn't add additional salt since the sauce was already salty.

12. STEP 12

    

    Pour tomato sauce over the meatballs. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until tender, turning occasionally.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add fresh chopped herbs and turn off the heat.

The meatballs turned out tender, juicy, and delicious! The tomato sauce enhanced the taste of the meat and went very well with the side dish; I had buckwheat. I made minced meat for the meatballs from pork pulp, grinding the meat along with onions in a blender. Then I added the egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to the minced meat. I mixed it and didn’t beat the minced meat, since the meat was soft (I had carbonate). She formed meatballs from the minced meat, rolled them in flour, and fried them in hot oil until golden brown. Then poured it with a sauce made from tomato paste, soy sauce and water. I took enough water so that the sauce covered the meatballs just above half. I did not add salt to the sauce. I stewed the meatballs without rice in a frying pan with gravy for 15 minutes, turning them over periodically. I didn’t cover it with a lid. After that I let it stand for 10 minutes under the lid. It turned out great! Thank you very much!
