Meatballs are considered to be the ordinary dish of many nationalities. Though there are recipes of meatballs that despite meat include rice, bread, dried breadcrumbs, onion, various kinds of seasoning and eggs. Even the ways of cooking are different. Meatballs are fried, baked, prepared on steam, and stewed in sauce.
