Preparation

We place the minced meat in a large bowl and add the salt, spices and eggs. We mix well.

Little by little we add the milk and breadcrumbs until we obtain a suitable texture to form the meatballs. We cover and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

We form the meatballs, coat them in breadcrumbs and cook them in the air fryer preheated to 190° for 8 minutes, stirring and cooking for 4 more minutes.

We place the meatballs in a pot and add the mushrooms, green beans and peas.

We put the onion, pepper, garlic and oil in the glass. Blend for 4 sec, V-5 and fry for 8 min, 120°, reverse rotation, spoon speed, with basket.

We add the tomato, spices, salt, bay leaf and broth. Sauté for 4 min, 120°, reverse rotation, spoon speed.

Add the beer and cook for 3 min, 120°, reverse rotation, spoon speed, without beaker or basket to evaporate the alcohol.

We add the dissolved cornstarch, 200 ml of water and cook for 3 min, 120°, reverse rotation, spoon speed. We let it go down to 80° and grind for 1 min, progressive V 5-10.

Add the rest of the water, mix for 10 seconds, V-4 and pour the sauce over the meatballs. We cook over low-moderate heat for about 25–30 minutes.
