Russian New Year's Hot Dish

Meatball Preparation In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.

Shaping the Meatballs Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Cooking the Meatballs In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Preparing the Sauteed Onion and Garlic In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Making the Sauce Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Then, add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Simmering the Meatballs in the Sauce Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.

Preparing the Vegetable Garnish While the meatballs are simmering, prepare the vegetable garnish. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Adding Vegetables to the Pot Add the cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, shredded cabbage, salt, black pepper, and dried dill to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Cooking the Vegetables Cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Plating the Dish Serve the meatballs with the vegetable garnish. Enjoy!
