Meatballs without eggs
Description
If you think it's impossible to make meatballs without eggs, I'm happy to tell you that it's actually very much possible. The meatballs turn out just as juicy, tender, and don't fall apart, so you can confidently prepare them

Step 1
1. The recipe for eggless meatballs doesn't differ much from the classic version, so everything is as usual. First, take rice. It needs to be rinsed and then cooked (using 2 portions of water for every 1 portion of rice).

2. Meanwhile, you can prepare the meat filling. It's best to make it at home using a fresh piece of meat. To do this, wash the meat, dry it, and cut it into pieces. Pass through a meat grinder (optionally add onion and garlic, also ground through the meat grinder).

4. Season the minced meat with salt and pepper to taste. You can add your favorite spices or fresh herbs. Mix it with the cooled rice. If the mixture turns out too dry, you can add a little milk or water (but be careful not to make the meatballs too runny). Shape the mixture into evenly sized balls and place them in a heatproof baking dish (you can grease the bottom with oil).
