Meatballs for Creative Sunday.

Welcome to another episode of Hive Learners Creative Sunday Initiative. This post is an entry for the challenge and I hope you enjoy it as you learn one or two things from this article.

For today's Creative Sunday, I decided to make meatballs.

It's my first time preparing this myself and I have only tasted it once at a party some years ago. I didn't just decide to do this, I have been losing my appetite for regular food these days so I felt adding something new would boost my appetite and it did.

You need to see the bowl of rice I ate after adding the meatballs to my stew.

Preparing meatballs wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be and the result was awesome.

_{Let me take you through the process.}

Ingredient

Making Meatballs doesn't require many ingredients, I made them with less than a dollar but the satisfaction I derived from it was more than a dollar

• Sausage I used sausage but you can use beef as long as blending it wouldn't give you much stress.

---

• Bread crumbs

---

• Groundnut oil

---

• Seasoning & Salt

---

• Egg

---

• Onion

The things I bought were Sausage and Egg

---

The process.

• I boiled the sausage first for some minutes.

---

• I intend using a blender to blend it but there was no electricity and with the rain pouring heavily, I wasn't expecting it. I used a small mortar and pestle to grind the sausage to the best I can.

---

• I turned the sausage into a small plastic after grinding.

---

• I added a small quantity of breadcrumbs, onions, half a cube of seasoning and a little salt.

---

• I mixed everything with my hand to ensure that everything blends in well.

---

• After mixing, I turned the whisked egg into the mixture and started mixing again with my hand. I made sure the combo was properly mixed before going to the next step.

---

• Heat the groundnut oil and make sure the heat is low to prevent burning the meatballs immediately after you cut them in the hot oil.

---

• When the oil was hot, I cut the sausage mixture bit by bit into the hot oil.

---

• I moved the balls around in oil so that every part of the meatball will be properly fried.

• Voila, this is the result of all the processes.

Is it worth the process? I can just boil or fry the meat and eat it.

Just boiling or frying will do and as I mentioned earlier, adding new ideas to my meal was all I needed to make myself eat properly again.

Bringing some fun and life into a meal isn't a waste of time as long as everything involved is healthy.

Meatball is loaded with nutrients and the heavy presence of protein says it all. Meat and eggs are great sources of protein, the bread crumbs grace the meatball with carbohydrates.

I enjoyed every bite and felt happy doing something new today.
