Homemade meatballs in tomato juice

Delicious, simple and very fast! The family will like it! Usually meatballs are made with rice. But I, for example, prefer without it. What I like about this recipe is that you can make a lot of them and put them in the freezer and use them for a whole week with potatoes or any other side dish. Just cook the sauce, and it's very fast and the food is ready.

I'll start with the sauce. I fry the onion until it becomes soft, add garlic, salt and flour, pour in tomato juice and keep it on low heat for five minutes until the mixture thickens a little. If there is no juice. then you can use ordinary tomato paste.
It's time to cook minced meat. I take pork meat, pass it through a meat grinder, salt, pepper, add egg and breadcrumbs and sage and make small balls, the size of a walnut. As you noticed, I don't throw onions here. Then they need to be fried in sunflower oil until ruddy. Everything is ready. It remains to transfer our meatballs to the dishes. where they will be stewed, pour the sauce and put in the oven for half an hour.
According to the same recipe, you can cook from any meat, even chicken.
