Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Some delicious meatballs!

Ingredients:

600 g minced meat
2 slices of dry bread
1 egg
1-2 onions
½ bunch of parsley
Black pepper
Salt
Vegetable oil
Ingredients for the sauce:
1-2 onions
2 carrots
3-4 cloves garlic
½ bulb celery root
4 tomatoes
150 g tomato puree
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp paprika
Salt

Method:

Combine minced meat with grated onion, bread/it has rested in water or milk and is drained/, an egg, finely chopped parsley, black pepper and salt to taste. Blend well. Shape into meatballs as big as you like/ I prefer smaller ones/. Roll them into flour/ I omit this/ and flatten a little. Fry in strongly heated oil.
Saute finely grated carrots, celery and onion together with garlic. When they soften, stir in tomato puree and fry a little. Add mashed tomatoes and paprika. Dilute flour in water and pour into the sauce. If necessary, add some warm water to get medium thick sauce. Sprinkle with salt and let it simmer for 8-10 min over low heat. You can add 1 teaspoonful of sugar to make the sauce less sour. Put the meatballs into the sauce and keep over heat for 10-15 min.

Bon Appetit!
