“Do you want to live long - throw out the pan”. This wise phrase should be remembered, even if you are not ready to completely give up fried food, and at least you need to replace part of it with dishes that are steamed or boiled.
You can make regular meatballs from mincemeat, or you can make meatballs in a saucepan, the latter being not only healthier foods, but also save you a lot of time. You just put the meatballs in the pan and go about your business - no need to fry each batch, turn it over, check readiness. No smoke in the kitchen and no grease pans. In a word - only advantages. And if you get used to such food, then for taste the lack of a fried crust will be a plus.
Ingredients:
- meat without bone (beef) - 300 grams;
- onions - 3-5 pcs .;
- carrots - 1 pc .;
- chicken egg - 1 pc .;
- rice - 100 gr.
