Minced meat is an excellent invention of mankind. It allows you to prepare nutritious meat dishes in a short time and with minimal culinary skills. And you can cook not only meatballs and meatballs, but also soups, stews, goulash, sauces and fillings for baking.

Stuffing can be made from any meat – beef, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, as well as sea and river fish and seafood (such as shrimp). It goes well with any vegetables, cereals and pasta.

Then the taste of the finished dish will be tender and soft, and the texture will be homogeneous. But if you have store-made minced meat, all the suggested recipes will also work for it.
