Pork meatballs

Description

The recipe won't take much time. The meatballs are delicious on their own, but especially tasty when baked in sauce. There are many sauce options: tomato sauce, sour cream sauce, and even some secrets: you can add mustard to the sour cream sauce, turmeric will give it a beautiful color, garlic will add spiciness.

In summer, you can freeze vegetable mixes in advance, then simply simmer the vegetables with the meatballs—and a tasty, nutritious dish for both children and adults is ready. Serve hot.
