Ingredients

500 g beef preferably with bone(used for stew - cheapest you find - you will discard it!)

1 onion

2 carrots

1 parsnip

1 celery root

4 tomatoes

2 red peppers

1 l zur or the juice of 2 lemons

salt

Meatballs:

300 g minced pork

300 g minced beef

1 teaspoon tomato paste

1/2 onion diced

1 spoon rice

salt and pepper

Mix of herbs:

1 spoon diced lovage ( harder to find, adds lots of flavor - you can skip it if you do not have it, however it does make a difference)

1 spoon diced parsley

Serve it with sour cream

Directions

Make the meatballs first and mix all the ingredients. Set it on the side.

Take all the root vegetables, including the onion and cut it very small ( I shred it). Cut the meat in large cubes. Add all in a large pot and cove with 3 l of cold water. bring it to boil. Let it boil gently at low heat.

Add the tomatoes skinned and cut, the red peppers cut into thin and short strips and let it boil another 5 minutes.

Separately, boil the zur - it will become clear. If you do not use zur, add the lemon juice.

Form small balls from the meatballs mix and drop them gently in the low boiling water. Boil on low heat for 10min. max.

Add zur and boil another 5 min.

Add the herbs.

Serve with a spoon or 2 of sour cream.
