Step 1
1. Wash the meat, pat it dry, and pass it through a meat grinder. Peel the onion and chop it into small cubes. Pass the peeled garlic through a garlic press or meat grinder. Heat a skillet with a small amount of vegetable oil and add the meat mixture with vegetables. Fry over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

2. Wash the tomatoes, make small cuts, and pour boiling water over them for a couple of minutes. Carefully remove the skin and chop the flesh. For the recipe of small meat buns, you can also use tomato sauce or tomatoes in their own juice. This will add extra juiciness to the filling. Add to the skillet and continue simmering until cooked. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
