Meatballs in tomato sauce

Ingredients

For the meatballs

• onion — 1
• beef mince — 500 g
• breadcrumbs — 2 tbsp
• egg — 1
• salt and pepper

For the sauce

• passata — 500 g
• tomato paste — 1 tbsp
• sour cream — 1 tbsp
• pepper

Method

1. Finely chop the onion and fry it until golden. This is the trick that keeps the raw onion smell out — the same works for cutlets.
2. Mix everything for the mince. With wet hands, roll it into balls and put them into a hot pan.
3. Fry on all sides. Cover with a lid.
4. Slice the pepper and add it to the meatballs.
5. Add the tomatoes, then the tomato paste.
6. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.
7. Stir in a spoonful of sour cream at the end.
