Spicy 'nests' made of minced meat and fresh tomatoes are a dish that combines the tenderness of the minced meat, the aroma of spices, and the juiciness of fresh vegetables. This recipe originates from Russian cuisine, where simple yet flavorful dishes create a sense of comfort and home warmth. The patties shaped like nests not only look original but also hold the juice of tomatoes and melted cheese perfectly, adding extra softness and richness. Spicy herbs like basil and marjoram add depth to the flavor, while paprika brings a slight spiciness. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or festive table, offering rich taste and an appetizing appearance that attracts attention and promises enjoyment with every bite.
