Meatballs with a secret: you will never guess what is inside
What if ordinary meatballs could be turned into a culinary quest?
It is enough to hide the filling inside, which no one will guess about.
Imagine: your guests bite into a juicy meatball, and inside there is... melted cheese, a crunchy nut or even a berry!
The secret is to wrap the "surprise" so that it does not leak out during cooking. Take the minced meat mixed with onions and spices, make a flatbread out of it, put a mozzarella cube in the center and make a ball.
Fry it in a pan - the cheese will melt but stay inside if you don't make the fire too high. Or hide a pickle inside - you'll get a piquant explosion of flavor.
And for those with a sweet tooth, try a piece of pineapple or a pitted cherry. The main thing is to seal the edges well, otherwise the juice will leak out and the mince will become dry.
By the way, in Georgia these dogwood-stuffed meatballs are served with pomegranate sauce, and in China they add sesame paste inside.
Another idea: mix the minced meat with grated pumpkin - it will make the meat more tender and add a sweet taste.
And don’t be afraid to experiment: even if the filling leaks out the first time, you will still get a flavorful dish that will disappear from the table in a minute.
Proven: after a dinner like this, your family will be asking for “meatballs with a secret” every week!
