  • 2 medium onions - about 200 g (7 oz)
  • 2 tbsp flour/potato starch
  • spices: a flat teaspoon of salt and marjoram; half a teaspoon of pepper

Instructions:

  5. Take two tablespoons of potato mass. Form a ball and then flatten it into a palm-sized cake. Take a tablespoon of raw meat filling and place in the center of the cake. Close the cake and shape it into an elongated egg in your hands.
  6. Boil water in a large, wide pot. Fill the pot no more than halfway with water. Add a level teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. Put a few grapeshots at a time into the boiling water. Leave some space between the noodles so that they can freely float to the surface. Cook the zeppelins like this for 15 minutes.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
