Meatballs with gravy
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use any meat (chicken, pork, or beef) to make the meatballs; today I'm using mixed minced meat. I first sear the meatballs and then braise them in sauce. Alternatively, you can prepare the sauce separately and pour it over the meatballs when serving. This dish is equally loved by both children and adults. These small, elegant balls with a bright and appetizing sauce will stay in your menu for a long time. It's very tasty and easy to prepare—be sure to try it. Serve hot.
