The meat is back you guys! Happy times! Tonight we're making beef meatballs in creamy mushroom sauce, which is tasty, fast and doesn't require much of your time. Plenty of serving options here as well. We went for pasta but you might as well use rice, potatoes, mash potato, anything you really feel like eating alongside the juicy, saucy, meatballs.

Here we go than. Time to get dirty with the meet, so wash your hands first ;). Put the beef in a bowl and release the egg from the eggshell in there, add black pepper, cumin and 2 crushed garlic cloves. Mix it all with your hands until it turns into a meaty dough. Add 3 tablespoons of flour and mix it all again. Leave it now covered and let the meat absorb the flavor from all the spices. Chop the onions, pepper and preheat olive oil on the frying pan. Once it's ready start frying the veggies. Take a tall pot, adjust medium heat and put beef cubes and 2 glasses of water in there, dissolve the cubes. In the meantime put the mushroom into a cup with boiling water and let it absorb for 10 minutes. Now take bay leafs, allspice, fried onions with peppers, don't forget the mushroom essence along with the mushroom, throw it, pour it, put it in the pot and cover.

Back to the meat. Put the flour onto a plate and put some on your palms, start forming bite-sized meatballs and coat them in the flour. Prepare all the meatballs (they're supposed to be roughly the same size). The sauce base in the pot should be boiling by now, so you can start putting the meatballs in there. After you're done stir it all and cover for 30-40 minutes. Lower the heat a little, but keep it boiling. Almost there.

Just before serving take half glass of cream and mix it with some sauce from the pot to avoid coagulating, then put the cream into the pot and stir it.

Voila!! It's ready. Ready to serve and ready to eat. Enjoy!
