The Russians are not commonly famed for their cuisine yet the nation boasts some fantastic dishes. In my opinion, the simple are always the best and I love these Russian beef meatballs braised in sour cream which would make up a zakuski board for guests upon arrival. They are very easy to make, though they do require some time as it is best to chill them thoroughly before cooking to prevent them breaking up.
Here’s my recipe…
Ingredients
500g minced beef
50g breadcrumbs
3 tbsp chopped parsley
1 small white onion, grated
20g plain flour
25g butter
3 tbsp sunflower oil
700ml sour cream
Instructions
Mix the beef, two tbps of parsley, breadcrumbs and onion
Form the mixture into small balls
Roll the balls in the flour
Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes
Fry each ball in oil and butter
Rest the meatballs until just before serving
When you want to serve them, heat sour cream in a saucepan and add the meatballs
When everything is thoroughly heated serve and sprinkle with remaining parsley
