Meatballs for porridge, pasta or potatoes: a hearty lunch
The most versatile meat dish that can be quickly prepared for lunch is meatballs. They are based on ordinary minced meat. You can cook a large portion at once and then serve it with pasta, potatoes, cereal, and salad.
The idea of making hearty meatballs for lunch was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Oksana Dorosh (oksana_dorosh_rezeptu). The dish is very basic and satisfying.
