Fish meatballs like in kindergarten
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Prepare delicious and hearty fish meatballs, just like in kindergarten, for your family. For the mince, use fish—I used hake. Blend the fish fillet, fried onion (it's aromatic and soft), and bread with egg in a blender; the bread and egg are essential to keep the meatballs from falling apart and help them hold their shape. I first sear the meatballs, then bake them in sour cream—this makes them taste just like those from kindergarten. Serve hot.

With wet hands, shape the mixture into round meatballs and fry them in a pan with oil. Cook quickly so the meatballs brown but don't fall apart. If you're afraid the meatballs might stick to the pan, you can coat them in flour before frying.

Sprinkle with grated carrots. You can fry the carrots beforehand if you like, but I decided to use less oil and fewer fried ingredients in the dish.
