Cutlets in the oven with gravy
Description
The recipe won't take much time. 1. This simple recipe for oven-baked meatballs with sauce starts with preparing the minced meat. Wash the meat and dry it. 2. Peel the onion and garlic. 3. Pass the meat through a meat grinder together with one onion and the garlic. 4. Add bread previously soaked in water or milk. 5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. 6. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, then cool them under cold water and peel off the skin. Cut into small pieces. If fresh tomatoes are unavailable, you can use tomato sauce or paste. 7. Slice the onion into thin half-rings and place in a frying pan with a drop of vegetable oil. 8. When the onion begins to turn golden, add the tomatoes. 9. Remove the seeds from the hot pepper and rinse well. Add the whole pepper to the tomato sauce and cook on the skillet for 2–3 minutes. Then remove it (it won't be needed anymore). 10. Slightly salt the sauce, add your favorite spices and dried herbs. Evaporate some of the liquid. 11. Place the formed meatballs onto a baking sheet or another ovenproof dish. Pour the tomato sauce over them and bake in the oven for at least 30–40 minutes. 12. Baked meatballs with sauce take 30 minutes to 1 hour to cook at home, depending on the size of the meatballs and the oven temperature. 13. Remove the cooked meatballs from the oven, sprinkle with cheese and fresh herbs, then serve. Serve hot.
