Pan-fried Meatballs with Cabbage, Carrot and Mushroom

We can make meatballs in different variations, some plain while others with added ingredients like mash potatoes, mushroom, cabbage, carrot and others. All these ingredients will change the flavour and taste of the meatballs. No matter what we add to the minced meat, the meatballs will end up delicious.
