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!

Lemon Pie with Syrup

A fluffy cream to sweeten your life!

Ingredients:

6 eggs
60-70 g softened butter
32 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
70-80 ml lemon juice
1 tbsp grated lemon rind
1 capsule lemon essence
2-3 jars of sour cream
Syrup:
½ package butter
1 jar of sour cream
Powdered sugar to taste
Lemon juice
Lemon rind

Method:

Cream butter with some of the sugar. Add eggs one at a time and the remaining sugar. Beat the mixture for 10 min. Gradually add sour cream, lemon juice and essence. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Pour egg mixture in a trickle in the bowl and blend until it gets homogeneous. Add grated lemon rind.
You can separate egg yolks from whites. Beat yolks with sugar and butter. Add flour. Beat the whites and add them to the mixture spoonful by spoonful. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 180-190 degrees C. When it rises, lower the heat. Beat butter and powdered sugar until you get a fluffy cream. Gradually add sour cream and lemon juice. Add remaining sugar. It is about 300 gr. in the recipe but I think it is too much so I put sugar to taste. Top the pie with grated lemon rind.

Enjoy your meal!
