Instructions

1. Finely chop 2-3 onions and 1-2 cloves garlic, then add to the minced meat along with 1 egg, salt to taste, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
2. Shape the chilled meat mixture into meatballs, then roll each one in flour to coat lightly.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and fry for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
4. While the meatballs fry, make the gravy: combine 4-5 tablespoon tomato sauce (or tomato paste or ketchup), 4-5 tablespoon sour cream, and 1-1.5 cups water in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
5. Pour the gravy over the browned meatballs, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through (74°C / 165°F for chicken, 71°C / 160°F for pork or beef).
6. Serve hot with mashed potatoes.

Bon Appetit everyone!
