Cooking process:

1. For minced meat, you can use both black and white bread. Separate the pulp from the crust and place it in a small bowl. Pour milk over the bread. Let it swell for 2-3 minutes.

2. You can use ready-made minced meat for cooking. In this recipe we will make it ourselves. Rinse the pork well and place on paper towels. They will absorb excess moisture. Cut the meat into arbitrary pieces. It is not recommended to clean the surface of pork from fat. Thanks to it, the meatballs will turn out more tender.Next, you can use a meat grinder or replace it with a blender. Pass the pork through a meat grinder. Place the finished minced meat on a plate.

3. Wash and peel the onion. Cut it into small pieces or grate it. Remove the peel from the garlic. Grate it on a fine grater and mix with onion.

4. Add a mixture of onions and garlic to the minced meat. Stir the meat well. Add suneli hops and a little ground black pepper to it. Stir the minced meat again.

5. Squeeze out excess milk from the bread. Add it to the minced meat and stir until smooth. The next ingredient is an egg. Thanks to it, the minced meat will stick together well, and the meatballs will not fall apart during cooking. We begin to stir the minced meat with our hands. Add 1 tablespoon of cream and mix everything again. You can replace the cream with sour cream. Now we need to beat off the minced meat. Collect it with your hands, and then throw it back into the bowl. Do this for 1-2 minutes. This procedure will make the minced meat homogeneous. Balls will be molded from it well.

6. Let's start making meatballs. Wet your hands in water in advance. Take a small amount of minced meat and form a meat ball. Pour 3 tablespoons of wheat flour into a small plate. Dip all the meatballs in it. Flour is used for breading. You can replace it with breadcrumbs.

7. Place the frying pan on the stove. Add vegetable oil to it. Place the meatballs at a short distance from each other. Fry them on each side. This will take you approximately 5-7 minutes.

8. Let's start preparing the sauce. Pour the cream into a separate container and add water to it. Add a teaspoon of flour and stir the sauce until completely smooth. Remove the peel from the garlic.You can grate it on a fine grater or squeeze it out using a press. Add it to the sauce. Add suneli hops and ground black pepper. Mix the sauce again.

9. Pour the meatballs with the prepared creamy garlic sauce. Turn the meat balls over several times to thoroughly coat them. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meatballs for 25 minutes. If you want the sauce to remain runny, increase the amount of water you use while cooking it.

10. When the time is up, remove the pan from the stove and leave the meatballs covered for another 10 minutes. Place the finished dish on a plate. You can decorate it with chopped herbs. For example, parsley or green onions. Prepare rice or mashed potatoes as a side dish. If you are making this dish for your children, reduce the amount of garlic you use. The meatballs are ready. All that remains is to try them.
