   Cut the crusts off the loaf. Pour milk over the bread and leave to soak for 5 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the pork and chicken, dry and cut into medium pieces. Peel the onion and garlic. If you have a meat grinder, pass both types of meat, the onion and the bread and garlic soaked in milk through it. Then add spices and knead the minced meat into a homogeneous mixture.

4. STEP 4

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the meatballs and fry on both sides until golden brown.

9. STEP 9

   

   Now prepare the ingredients for the gravy. You can replace canned tomatoes in their own juice with tomato paste diluted in water, ketchup or fresh crushed tomatoes.

10. STEP 10

I made some very tasty meatballs today, dinner with them turned out wonderful! I made them from homemade minced pork. My pork was soft - carbonate, so I did not add chicken to the minced meat. Grind the meat, onions and bread soaked in milk in a blender to make the minced meat tender. I didn't add garlic. Having formed the balls, rolled them in flour and fried them until golden brown on each side. I stewed minced meatballs with gravy in a frying pan. I made the gravy from fried onions and carrots with tomato paste diluted in water (I used it instead of tomatoes in its own juice). I also added bay leaf to the gravy for flavor and a little flour. It turned out very tasty! The meatballs were stewed until soft. Their consistency is homogeneous, tender, juicy. The taste is excellent! I liked it very much! And my husband asked for more. I recommend this wonderful recipe to everyone! Thank you so much!
