Russian Mince Pot

Time

Total preparation time: 45 min.

If you want to do something different with minced meat than chilli con carne or spaghetti, here is another equally tasty tip that you can not go wrong with:

ingredients

For 3-4 people (or 2 students):

  • 500 g minced meat (beef or mixed)
  • 2 leeks
  • 1-2 times (depending on size)
  • about 150 g tomato paste
  • 200 ml meat or vegetable broth
  • 1-2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1-2 teaspoon paprika
  • Pepper salt
  • Oil for searing
  • Sour cream or sour cream to refine
  • As a side dish I recommend spaetzle or ribbon noodles, so about 400-500 g

preparation

  1. Peel the onions, finely dice. It is best to clean the leeks and cut them into rings, then you have the schnibbelei already behind you.
  2. Fry the onions in a saucepan with the oil. It's best to put on the water for the spaetzle / noodles - it always takes a while to cook.
  3. Add the minced meat and fry until light brown and crumbly.
  4. Now add the leek, sauté briefly.
  5. Then add the broth, tomato paste and mustard. Mix well. Season with paprika, pepper and salt. I also like to season with this dish with some mustard - to taste.
  6. Now would be a good time to put the spaetzle / noodles in the boiling water. Because we let the mincemeat pot simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes - that's just enough for the noodles.
  7. Everyone grabs the Schmand at will to his portion, if it is on the plate.
