Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

uncomplicated, with garlic

First, combine the minced meat, eggs, and peeled, finely diced onion, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Form the mixture into equal-sized balls (I made about 7 balls). Heat the oil in a pan and fry the balls until nicely browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and place in a casserole dish. Place this in the oven and keep warm at around 100°C (convection oven). Peel the onion and garlic clove, finely dice the onion, and press or finely chop the garlic (using a garlic press). Sauté both in the fat from the meatballs for a few minutes, then add the peeled canned tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes to reduce the liquid. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs. Remove the casserole dish with the balls from the oven, pour the sauce over the meat, and spread it evenly in the dish. Finally, thinly slice the feta and spread it on top of the balls. Bake the whole thing in the oven at 200°C (fan oven) for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is nicely browned. I recommend serving it with rice and vegetables like carrots.
