Minced hedgehogs with rice in a saucepan with gravy

Minced hedgehogs are familiar to many housewives, especially in those families with small children. The dish is interesting for its appearance and makes even the little ones appetite. To add a little natural sourness and set off the taste of minced meat, we prepare the sauce based on tomatoes in our own juice. Before stewing in a saucepan, hedgehogs can be quickly fried until golden brown - this will make their taste especially rich. If there is a desire to avoid excess fat in the dish, lay the "hedgehogs" for stewing raw.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 8
Peel the onions, rinse and dry. Cut it into small cubes. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped onion in it until transparent. When the onion pieces begin to brown a little, remove the pan from the stove.
step 2 out of 8
Put the fried onions in a sieve and let the oil drain as much as possible. Stir the onion mixture lightly with a spoon to remove more oil.
step 3 out of 8
Put the minced meat in a large bowl (you can use any mixed version of minced meat to taste), break the egg, add the prepared fried onions. We pre-wash the rice in water, dry it and also pour it into the minced meat. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste and mix thoroughly with your hands or with a spoon.
step 4 out of 8
We beat off the finished minced meat a little to achieve higher viscosity and density. To do this, throw it in the form of a lump on the bottom of the bowl for a couple of minutes. Then, with hands dipped in cold water, we form meatballs of the desired size. We roll well the meat balls between the palms - so the "hedgehogs" will turn out to be beautiful and regular in shape.
step 5 out of 8
Optionally, you can fry the formed meatballs in a pan before stewing. This will add extra calories, but it will also significantly enrich the taste. You just need to achieve the appearance of a golden brown crust on all sides by frying meatballs at a high temperature.
step 6 out of 8
Put the tomatoes in their own juice in a thick-walled saucepan. Add salt and black pepper. If necessary, you can slightly punch the mass with a hand blender to achieve more uniformity in the future gravy.
step 7 out of 8
Put the saucepan on the stove and heat the gravy to a boil. We lower the prepared meatballs into it, dipping them to the bottom. We close the pan with a lid and simmer the dish for forty to fifty minutes. During this time, the minced meat will become soft, and the rice will swell and come to the surface: the meatballs will become "hedgehogs".
step 8 out of 8
Ready-made "hedgehogs", by and large, already contain a side dish in the form of rice. Therefore, they should be served with a vegetable accompaniment. This can be either a fresh light salad or a vegetable stew. As an addition, a spoonful of sour cream and aromatic chopped herbs are well suited.

Bon Appetit!
