Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Incredibly juicy and tender meatballs in an appetizing sauce. Rice or potatoes would be a great side dish. For the recipe, I used a mixture of beef and pork, but you can choose any minced meat to your taste. In the summer period, fresh tomatoes can be used instead of canned ones.
