Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix all of the ingredients for meatballs in the first three steps

* Step 2

In a large baking pan you'll spread the flour over the area off the bottom of the pan ( to prevent meatballs sticking to each other, ) prepare meatballs slightly larger and rounder than a marble , when adding the meatballs, shake the pan back and fourth so they blend with the flour .

* Step 3

Boil water in a large pot on the side, in a separate pan start making your broth ; add vegetable oil, then chopped onion, tomato and pepper paste, green pepper, continue stirring, at this point your boiling water should be ready.

* Step 4

Pour water over paste mix. Keep extra boiling water on the side to match the amount of ingredients that you have. Then add potatoes and carrot,

* Step 5

As you see my ingredients exceeded the amount of water that was in the pot. So I added more water before adding the meatballs

* Step 6

After broth boils and potatoes get a little bit soft add your meatballs into the broth slowly to avoid the meatballs breaking up and making a very messy stew.
