Minced hedgehogs with rice in a pan with gravy

Minced meat for "hedgehogs" is different: for example, from a mixture of beef with pork or chicken and pork. But rice is recommended to use long-grain. Its tall grains will be especially noticeable after stewing and will really resemble hedgehog thorns. The gravy for such meatballs will be vegetable - it has a rich taste and a thick consistency. Boiled potatoes are well suited as a side dish. Against the background of its crumbly starchy pulp, the taste of "hedgehogs" in the sauce is felt very expressively.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 11
Minced meat, of course, is best cooked at home, since this way you can completely control its composition and quality. If there is no time and conditions, then we use the store. Put the minced meat in a bowl.
step 2 out of 11
Place the rice in a colander and rinse well under running water. Let the water drain completely and pour the rice into a bowl with the minced meat. We also add salt to taste, a mixture of ground peppers and suneli hops. Mix everything well with a spoon or hands.
step 3 out of 11
We form small meatballs from minced meat with rice. To make them dense and not fall apart, we throw the minced meat ball between the palms, compacting it, and then roll it around until smooth. So air will come out of the minced meat, and the meatball will become stronger. Place the formed "hedgehogs" in the refrigerator until stewing.
step 4 out of 11
Peel the onions, rinse and cut into small cubes.
step 5 out of 11
Peel the carrots from the top peel, wash and grate with large holes.
step 6 out of 11
My bell pepper, free from seeds and stalks, cut into small pieces. In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and place the prepared vegetables in it: chopped onions, grated carrots and pieces of bell pepper. Fry the vegetable mixture at medium temperature until the carrots are soft. This will take approximately ten minutes.
step 7 out of 11
Add tomato paste, paprika, dried garlic, granulated sugar and salt to taste into the pan to the vegetables.
step 8 out of 11
Mix the mass and continue to cook for three to four minutes so that all the components are well warmed up.
step 9 out of 11
Put the formed future "hedgehogs" into the hot vegetable mixture.
step 10 out of 11
Pour boiling water into the meatballs, put the bay leaf and close the pan with a lid. Cooking the dish for forty minutes. During this time, the gravy will become thicker as the vegetables boil over. The meatballs will be saturated with vegetable juices, and the rice will swell, boil and come out on the surface of the minced meat - "hedgehogs" will form.
step 11 out of 11
Remove the finished dish from the stove and let it stand for a while before serving. The gravy will cool slightly and become richer.We serve "hedgehogs" by placing them on portioned plates along with a side dish and generously pouring the prepared gravy.

Bon Appetit!
