Meatballs from minced meat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. People in Russia have been cooking meat patties for a long time—since the 18th century. This dish came to us from France and quickly became very popular. A common question is: how are meat patties different from cutlets? Essentially, only in appearance—the patties are smaller and rounder. I especially like meat patties not just fried, but also baked afterwards in the oven. The meat instantly becomes much more tender and aromatic. The sauce poured over the patties is equally delicious. Try it yourself—this dish isn't much more difficult or time-consuming to prepare, but the taste speaks for itself. How to cook? Take the recipe for minced meat patties and follow it. Step-by-step photos make the process even clearer. Everything will turn out perfectly. Serve hot.
