 Here's a detailed recipe for preparing meatballs with minced meat, eggs, and mortadella in a golden sauce. This simple and tasty recipe is perfect for beginners!

                  Ingredients:

        For the Meatballs:

500 grams minced meat (preferably low-fat)

2 large eggs (one for the mixture, one for coating)

50 grams mortadella, finely chopped

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 cup flour

             For the Golden Sauce:

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon tomato paste

Salt and pepper, to taste

1.5 cups hot water

1 bay leaf (optional)

                Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs:

In a large bowl, mix the minced meat with one egg, the chopped mortadella, onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, and cumin.

Mix well with your hands until the ingredients are fully combined and you get a smooth, firm mixture.

Form small, evenly sized balls (about the size of a walnut).

In a small bowl, whisk the second egg.

Dip each meatball in the egg, then roll it in flour until fully coated.

2. Fry the Meatballs:

In a pan, heat a little oil and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Set aside when done.

3. Prepare the Golden Sauce:

In a pot, heat the oil and add the minced garlic, stirring until golden.

Add the turmeric, paprika, and tomato paste, and stir for a minute to blend the flavors.

Pour in 1.5 cups of hot water and add the bay leaf, if desired.

Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Add the Meatballs:

Add the fried meatballs to the pot with the sauce and let them cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors and blend well.

5. Serve:

Serve the meatballs with the golden sauce over white rice or fresh bread.

Garnish with chopped parsley for a final touch.

Tips:

For extra flavor and nutrition, add some grated carrot to the sauce.

Make sure all ingredients are finely chopped for a smooth and consistent texture.

This delicious dish is great for lunch or dinner, paired with a light salad. Enjoy!
