Vegetable meatball stew
- Cooking time: 1 hour.

Meat dishes, even stewed in thick gravy, are usually served with a side dish. But preparation of mashed potatoes, salad or porridge takes time, but it is not always enough. I propose to make a stew with meatballs and vegetables - this will save you from additional trouble in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
- minced pork and beef - 500 g;
- egg - 1 pc.;
- onion - 2 heads;
- potatoes - 7-9 tubers;
- carrots - 2 pcs.;

- tomatoes - 3-4 pcs.;
- greens - 1 bunch;
- curry - a pinch;
- water or vegetable broth - 1-2 glasses;
- salt, spices - to taste;
- vegetable oil - for frying.
Important! To prepare this dish, you need a pan with thick walls and a bottom - like a cauldron or ducklings. Otherwise, the stew will burn from below.
Operating procedure:
- Mix the minced meat with the egg, chopped onion, salt, spices, and add a pinch of curry.
- Form small balls from the resulting mass, fry over medium heat in vegetable oil for 5-7 minutes. from each side.
- While the meatballs are browning, peel the potatoes, cut into large pieces, put in a pan, pour about three quarters of the water or broth. Salt and put on a slow fire.
- Now add to the meat balls the remaining onion chopped into cubes, pepper chopped in half rings and grated carrots, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Then enter chopped or finely chopped tomatoes in a blender.
- Stew meatballs with vegetables for about 5 minutes, and then transfer the mass to the potatoes.
- Simmer over low heat for another 20-25 minutes. The dish can be removed from the heat when the potatoes are soft. 5 minutes before cooking, add chopped greens to the stew.
