Necessary ingredients: - 1000 g mixed minced meat (pork and beef) - 1 large potato - 1 medium zucchini - 1 yellow onion - 3-4 cloves of garlic - 2 eggs - 10 g iodized salt - 1 g sweet paprika - 2 g freshly ground pepper - 3-4 tablespoons golden breadcrumbs - 3-4 tablespoons white wheat flour - 2 tablespoons sunflower oil - 2.7 l Zepter pot (24 cm) Benefits of the ingredients: Zucchini is an excellent health choice, rich in vitamins A, C, K, and B complex. They contain only 21 calories per 100 grams, making them ideal for diets. Potatoes are not only filling but also contribute to the optimal functioning of the body due to their high potassium and vitamin C content. Preparation steps: 1. Preparing the ingredients: - Peel the zucchini, potato, onion, and garlic. Use a fine grater to chop them into small pieces. This will help integrate the flavors evenly into the meatballs. 2. Mixing the ingredients: - In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with the two eggs, grated vegetables, salt, sweet paprika, pepper, breadcrumbs, and flour. Mix well to achieve a homogeneous composition. You can use your hands to ensure all ingredients are well integrated. 3. Shaping the meatballs: - With wet hands, form meatballs of the desired size. If you prefer larger meatballs, make sure to cook them longer so they are cooked through. 4. Cooking in the Zepter pot: - Place the Zepter pot over medium heat. When the temperature indicator reaches the beginning of the green zone, add the two tablespoons of sunflower oil. - Carefully arrange a layer of meatballs in the pot, making sure not to overlap them. Turn them immediately after placing them, then cover the pot with a lid. It is essential to use low flame to maintain steam in the pot so that the meatballs cook evenly. 5. Continuing to cook: - After 2-3 minutes, turn the meatballs and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes. When they are ready, remove them from the pot. It is important to lift the lid carefully; do not tilt it to avoid steam escaping. 6. Finishing cooking: - Continue the process until all the meatballs are cooked. You will be surprised by how little oil you used and how delicious they are! Serving suggestions: These meatballs can be served with a fresh vegetable salad or mashed potatoes. A garlic and dill yogurt sauce will perfectly complement them, bringing a note of freshness. Variations: You can add spices like cumin, coriander, or fresh herbs (parsley, dill) to the meat mixture for an even more intense flavor. You can also replace the zucchini with grated carrots or bell peppers to diversify the taste. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use poultry meat? Yes, you can use chicken or turkey, but make sure to add enough spices to compensate for the milder flavor of poultry. - How can I make the meatballs less fatty? By using less oil and cooking in pots that retain moisture, such as Zepter pots, you can achieve a healthy result without sacrificing taste. - Can I freeze the meatballs? Yes, the meatballs can be easily frozen. Make sure to let them cool completely before placing them in freezer bags. Calories and nutritional benefits: The meatballs prepared this way are a healthy option, having a low calorie content due to cooking with little oil. A serving of meatballs provides essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals, making it an excellent choice for a balanced meal. So, don’t hesitate!
