MEATBALLS INGREDIENTS:

750 grams beek&pork mince
1 egg
1 diced or minced onion
1 diced or minced garlic head
2 teaspoons vegetable seasoning ( Polish Kucharek )
1 teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 bunch of chopped parsley
1 slice of stale bread
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup of oil + extra for frying

Directions:

In a bowl, add the minced meat, then all the rest of the ingredients apart from the slice of bread. Soak the bread in water and drain - you can squeeze the water out with your hands. Add the bread in the meat mix and mix everything well. You should taste if you dare :) to make sure the meatballs mix is well seasoned. With oiled hands, grab around 1 tablespoon of the meatballs mix and roll into round shape. Add oil in a frying pan and bring to heat. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs and fry on each side. The meatballs should be golden brown on each side when they are ready. Remove the meatballs from the frying pan, but keep the oil.

MEATBALL SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

1 jar of pasta sauce
1 green bell pepper or any bell pepper of choice
1 large onion
Salt
Pepper

Directions: On medium heat, in a pot, transfer oil from the frying pan to the pot. Allow the oil to heat, then add sliced onion and the sliced pepper and fry until the onion is golden in colour and the pepper is soft. Add in the pasta sauce, clean the jar of the remaining sauce with a quarter of water, mix and pour into the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste, into the sauce and allow to boil until it thickens. When it gets thicker, add in the meatballs and allow to cook for 5 more minutes.

MASHED POTATOES INGREDIENTS:

4 potatoes
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of butter
1 bunch of parsley
Salt
Pepper
Water

Directions: In a pot, bring water to boil. The quantity of water depends on how many potatoes you use. The water needs to cover the potatoes once in the pot. Peel and cube the potatoes and get them into the boiling water. Boil until the potatoes are soft, you can check with a fork or even taste. Once the potatoes are boiled, drain the water and place the boiled potatoes into another pot or a bowl. Add milk, butter, salt and pepper and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. If you don't have a masher, you could use a fork as well. Mix well and if the mash is too thick, you can add more milk and keep mashing and adding milk, until you get the consistency you want. Add the chopped parsley in and mix well.

Serve the meatballs in sauce with the mashed potatoes.
