Meatballs came to us on the table from the Turkic cuisine. By the way they are cooked, they look like cutlets known to everyone. But thanks to the presence of any cereals or vegetables in the meatballs, as well as the mandatory preparation of gravy, this dish has become very popular, especially among children.
Delicate meat balls with delicious gravy are perfectly combined with any vegetable puree , with porridges, as well as with cooked pasta.

With a tablespoon we take a piece of minced meat and form a cake from it. In the middle of a flat cake we will stir up a piece of cheese. Fold the cake and roll it into the ball.
In vegetable oil, fry each meatball from two sides, until it is a tasty crust, and add it to a saucepan that has a thick bottom.
Prepare gravy. To do this, grind the mushrooms and pass them on vegetable oil, along with finely chopped onions. When mushrooms and onions are fried, add flour and continue to fry on. After 3-4 minutes, pour in cream, salt and pepper sauce. We simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes and pour it to the meatballs. Again, stew until cooked. For garnish, we cook rice or spaghetti.
