Meatballs from fish
It is difficult for children to eat fish because of the bones in it. Therefore, they often simply reject it. The recipe for fish meatballs allows you to cook a delicious boneless dish that kids can enjoy.
Essential Ingredients:
- 800 grams of any low-bony fish or fish fillet;
- 100 grams of white stale bread (without crust);
- 4 onions;
- 1 raw egg;
- 4 tablespoons of raw milk;
- 2 tablespoons of flour (any);
- 4 tablespoons of sunflower oil (for frying).
Fish is freed from the ridge and bones. If there are scales, it can be removed directly from the skin. Stale bread must first be soaked in milk. Then, in a meat grinder or using a blender, grind fish fillet, onions and pressed bread.
Salt a little and pepper the minced fish, beat the raw egg into it and add the milk left over from the soaking of the bread. Beat the mixture well until magnificent.
Form small balls from the finished mass and roll them in flour. Pour vegetable oil into a hot pan, heat and lay meatballs for roasting. Brown them on all sides. Put in a separate pan with red tomato sauce and simmer for about ten minutes.
Minced fish can be prepared from capelin. You do not need to remove bones from it. Only remove the head and entrails. Tender bones are well ground and not felt at all.
