Classic Russian Kotleti (Meatballs) – Momsdish

https://momsdish.com/recipe/165/classic-russian-kotleti

Kotleti is basically a meatball. It’s very popular in Eastern Europe. Kotleti mixes Russian, Salvic and Ukrainian cuisine. These little meatballs have the best of each.

What to serve them with? [Пюре] Mashed potatoes is one option. Peas or really anything you choose. Buckwheat is served with Kotleti. I didn’t mention it to start with because I don’t know many people who eat it. Eastern European countries often serve what they call Kasha. In a nutshell it’s their buckwheat version of our grits. In the American South we eat shrimp and grits. This how Kasha is served.

Marinated vegetables are suggested in the article. Cabbage or perhaps kraut. If you grew up eating Koltleti please post what your family served with it.

Hello y'all! I have hit a point in my life that I miss the simple dishes and times that my parents grew up in. People were kind to each other and the food was homemade from scratch. Before convince food was everywhere. Oh, those were the days... Let's reclaim them and start cooking from scratch again.
