I decided to make Meatballs broth, a great lunch for a cold day. This recipe is for all the meatball lovers out there that want to try a new combination.

- zucchini - one piece
- carrots - two pieces
- onions - two pieces
- celery root - a small piece
- red capsicum - one piece
- parsnip - one piece
- parsley root - one piece
- rice - 2 tablespoons
- garlic - one clove
- cereal broth - 1 liter
- egg - one piece
- bread - a slice without crust
- lovage - a few leaves
- green parsley - a few leaves
- salt - to taste
Instructions
- I let the rice and the slice of bread to soak in water. I peeled the tomatoes and chopped them.
- I put the two pieces of beef shank to boil with the clove of garlic. I used a 5 liters pot which i filled 3/4 with water.
- While the meat boils i chopped the veggies: the carrots in round slices, capsicum, parsnip, celery, zucchini and parsley root into little cubes.
- After the meat has boiled a little i added one hole onion and let it boil. Don't forget to remove it later.
- The meat has boiled so i removed it from the broth (and the onion) and i let it cool before i cut it in small pieces.
- In the boiling broth i put the chopped veggies and i let them boil.
- After the veggies have softened i added the chopped meat and a big cup of water.
Now it is time to make the meatballs:
- Finely chop the onion and add it over the meat. Add the meat, egg, rice, bread, salt and pepper. Stir everything together and make your meatballs the size you want. Toss them trough flour to keep their shape.
- I've boiled the cereal broth separately in another pot. I added it over the veggies with the tomatoes.
- I've let everything to boil a little and added the meatballs.
- I boiled everything for another 10 minutes until the meatballs were boiled.
- At the end i sprinkled fresh parsley on top.
Serve it hot with a chili pepper.
Enjoy your meal!
