Stir well to avoid clumping. Add herbs and spices. Add finely chopped onions and grated carrots if desired.
Step 2
Try another way to make the gravy. If, after cooking meat in the oven, there is a lot of melted liquid and fat on the pallet, then you can use this as the basis for gravy. Scrape off any remaining meat after frying with a spatula, mix with warm water to a volume of two glasses. Dissolve a quarter cup of flour with cold water until the consistency of liquid sour cream. To avoid clumping, whisk the mixture with a blender. Pour the diluted flour into the liquid on a baking sheet and heat. Stir the gravy so that it does not burn and thickens evenly. Add salt, spices and herbs to taste. The gravy is ready.

Make a vegetable and mushroom sauce. To do this, take champignons or chanterelles, chop them finely. Peel the onion and chop finely, grate the carrots. Finely chop the tomato. Put the pan on medium heat, add vegetable oil. Then add the chopped mushrooms and vegetables to the skillet. Simmer for 15 minutes. In the meantime, dilute a quarter cup flour in cold water to a sour cream consistency, beat the mixture with a blender to prevent lumps from forming. Slowly pour the mixture over the vegetables, stirring constantly. Add salt, herbs and spices. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes. The gravy is ready.
Step 4
You can cook the gravy right away in the same pan with the meatballs. To do this, for 15 minutes before the meatballs are ready, stir a quarter cup of flour in cold water until the consistency of sour cream, add spices and herbs. Add three tablespoons of sour cream and mix everything. Add the sauce to the meatballs and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
