Cutlets in tomato sauce
Description
The recipe for meatballs in tomato sauce, in my opinion, is the best option for a family dinner. This dish turns out not only very tasty but also quite filling. Usually, one meatball is enough for me to feel full, although my husband can easily eat 2-3 at once. I'd also like to highlight the amazing sauce, which adds a vibrant flavor and keeps the meatballs juicy. By the way, it still tastes delicious even when reheated. So now I'll tell you how to make it.

Now, in a deep bowl, combine the minced meat, the mixture prepared in the blender, egg, and breadcrumbs. Add spices and salt to taste. Thoroughly mix the meat mixture and let it stand for about 15 minutes so the breadcrumbs can soften slightly.

Transfer the fried meatballs to a baking dish. Next, blend the sweet and hot peppers into a puree, place this mixture into a bowl, and add grated lemon zest, lime juice, tomato juice, salt, sugar, and spices to taste. Pour this sauce over the meatballs, then place them in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25–30 minutes.
