Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the necessary ingredients for making minced meat balls with gravy in the oven. I have minced pork, but you can take any: beef, chicken or mixed.
Step 2:
Soak a loaf or bread in milk.
Step 3:
Peel the onion, cut it arbitrarily.
Step 4:
Chop the onion in any convenient way. I used a blender.
Step 5:
Add a loaf soaked in milk to the onion, grind everything again until smooth.
Step 6:
Put the resulting mass to the minced meat. Add egg, black pepper, salt.
Step 7:
Mix the minced meat well.
Step 8:
Form round-shaped meatballs, roll in flour. In the future, when baking, the flour will give the tomato gravy a light density.
Step 9:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Quickly fry the meatballs on both sides until golden brown. Roasting will keep the meat juices inside, and the meatballs will be tender and juicy.
Step 10:
Fold the fried meatballs into a baking dish. I didn't have one cue ball, I baked it separately.
Step 11:
Ingredients for making tomato gravy.
Step 12:
Peel the onion, cut into small cubes.
Step 13:
Peel the carrots, grate them on a coarse grater.
Step 14:
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, fry the vegetables over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 15:
Add tomato paste.
Step 16:
Pour in the water, mix well. Simmer the gravy over low heat for 10 minutes. Add a little salt.
Step 17:
Add any spices and spices. I took basil and a mixture of herbs (Mediterranean). Mix it up. Herbs will reveal their taste and aroma when baking.
Step 18:
Pour tomato gravy over the meatballs. It is desirable that it completely covers the cue balls.
Step 19:
Put the mold in a preheated 180 degree oven for 30 minutes. Serve the meatballs hot with any side dish. Enjoy your meal!
You can not fry the meatballs in a frying pan, but first bake them in the form until they are half cooked. A thin crust should form on the surface. Then pour the meatballs with the prepared tomato gravy and put it back in the oven.
Tomato paste can be replaced with mashed canned tomatoes.
You can add 1 tbsp sour cream to the gravy.
Of course, you can cook such a dish in a frying pan. But when baking, the process is somewhat different. The meatballs in the oven almost do not boil, but languish, warming up evenly from all sides.
