Yields4 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time25 mins

Adapted from Nami Nami

Ingredients
 1 tbsp butter
 1 onion, minced
 1 tbsp tomato paste
 400 g minced meat (I used turkey, pork is traditional)
 1 tbsp flour
 500 ml stock
 4 tbsp sour cream
 salt, pepper, dill, parsley
Directions
1

In a hot pan add the butter and wait until it melts before you add the onions. Fry the onions on medium heat with a little salt to draw out the water, just until they become translucent - about 7-8 minutes.

2

Once the onion has broken down add the meat and allow to fry for 1-2 minutes before breaking up into very small pieces. Cook until there is no more visible pinkness then add the tomato paste and flour.

3

Cook for 1-2 minutes until all the flour is absorbed and the tomato paste bubbles slightly then add the stock and cook for about 10 minutes until it thickens into a sauce.

4

Turn the heat off and add a few tablespoons of sour cream and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning and serve hot.
