2. In 700 g of pork and ground beef add boiled and cooled rice, 1 tsp. salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper and 1 egg. Stir the minced meat well until all the ingredients are fully combined.

4. Take a large pan or pan with a thick bottom, pour 30 g of vegetable oil and heat. Put the prepared vegetables in a hot pan, cover and simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   
5. Next, add 0.5 tsp. black pepper, 100 g tomato paste, 1 tsp. salt and 40 ml of water. Mix well until the tomato paste dissolves.
   
6. Form the balls of the desired size from the prepared meat. In stewed vegetables, make small indentations in which to place the meat balls.
   
7. Cover the balls with vegetables on top.
   
8. Add 2 allspice and 2 bay leaves. Cut 50 g of any greens and add half to the pan to vegetables and meatballs.
