Homemade meatballs are good in a wide variety of variations. Today we will cook pork meatballs with semolina. Adding semolina replaces bread in the recipe, and you can save on eggs. Beats with a more elastic consistency are obtained. Semolina well absorbs moisture inside and retains meat juices, which has a positive effect on the taste of the product. Swelling, it makes the minced meat more viscous and the balls retain their shape remarkably when frying. Despite the fact that there are no eggs in them, they do not disintegrate in the pan.
Breaking the cutlet, it looks like a natural meat, the semolina is completely invisible. But meat juices will not be enough for juiciness, so you need to add milk, sour cream, broth or mayonnaise to the minced meat. The type of meat, of course, every housewife has the right to choose according to her taste. It is preferable to use pork or mixed pork and beef. Since with pure beef meat, the meatballs will be dry. Chicken or turkey mince is also great. The rest of the minced products are standard: onions, garlic, spices.

5. Season the minced meat with the garlic passed through a press and mix well again. Leave the minced meat to stand for 15 minutes to swell the semolina. Otherwise, she will grind on her teeth in ready-made cutlets.

7. In high heat, fry them for 1 minute until they quickly become golden brown, which will seal the juice in them. Then screw the temperature to a moderate mode and fry the meatballs for 5 minutes. Then turn them over to the other side, turn on high heat and fry them in the same way: 1 minute over high heat, 5 minutes over moderate. If desired, you can steam the finished meatballs a little or stew in a pan, pouring a little water.
8. Serve the meatballs hot immediately after cooking. Any side dish or fresh vegetables will suit them.
