Join me and let's see how to make Squid and spinach meatballs with saffron and turmeric sauce
Instructions:
- Prepare all the ingredients. In a blender bowl, add the calamari, spinach, and garlic cloves and mince 25 seconds at speed 5.
- Crush the bread and in a bowl mix the filling, the bread and an egg. Salt and pepper and stir well.
- Then we'll make balls of the same size. I used the ice cream ball roller. Pass through flour and fry. Grease on absorbent paper.
- Then put onion to sauté. When it is soft, remove the excess oil and add a glass of water in which you have dissolved cornstarch. Add a broth pill, some saffron strips and turmeric. One more glass of water, salt to taste and let the meatballs soak in the sauce. In the end I didn't use the dye because turmeric stains a lot.
- Let it all stew together 10-15 minutes and let it eat.
