Instructions:
-
Take the minced meat in a deep mixing bowl and add the grated onion, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs or crumbled stale bread crumbs, eggs and spices. Knead until all the ingredients are well combined.
-
Clean the carrots and cut 2-3 cm from the top and bottom. Add enough hot water to cover the carrots and peas and boil for 10-15 minutes. Boil the eggs in a separate bowl to the consistency of apricots.
-
Give a roll shape to the meatballs you bought on greaseproof paper. Make a slot in the middle of the meatball roll for vegetables all the way through. Insert and reseal the eggs and boiled vegetables and re-roll by turning the closure down and straightening it. Make a neat package by closing the empty part of the greaseproof paper and rolling it.
-
Wrap the second greaseproof paper on the rolled roll in the same way and close it. Take it on a baking tray and bake in the oven you have set to 200 degrees in advance for 40-45 minutes.
-
In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a sauce pan and fry the tomato paste until fragrant, add water or broth, cook on low heat for 5-6 minutes and remove from the fire.
-
Remove the baking tray, cut the meatball pack with a pair of scissors and place it in another glass baking dish, taking care not to break up. Spread half the sauce on it and bake for another 10 minutes.
-
Take out the Dalyan meatballs and let them rest for 5-6 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice 2cm thick just before serving. Pour the remaining sauce over them and serve hot with mashed potatoes. Bon Appetit!
