Minced hedgehogs with rice in sour cream sauce in a pan

Sour cream sauce is perfect for stewing meatballs with rice: it is tender and has a delicate sourness, which successfully emphasizes the rich meat taste. There is one more nuance that allows you to enhance the taste of meat, to make it more intense and expressive in ready-made "hedgehogs" - this is preliminary rolling of meatballs in flour and their subsequent quick roasting. The flour shell seals the meat juices inside each "hedgehog" and forms a crust with a rich taste on the surface. This "breading" note is noticeably felt in the finished dish and decorates it very much.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 8
We use minced meat according to our own preferences: pork, beef, chicken or a mixture of these options. Of course, to be sure of its quality, it is better to rotate the meat in a meat grinder at home. For grinding, select the grate with the smallest holes.
step 2 out of 8
We wash the rice thoroughly. We place the grits in a saucepan, fill with water in such an amount to completely cover it and bring to a boil on the stove. From the moment it boils, we cook the rice for ten minutes, after which we put it in a colander, rinse it well with cold water and let it dry a little so as not to add excess moisture to the minced meat.
step 3 out of 8
Peel one onion, rinse and chop finely with a knife. In a bowl, mix the minced meat, eggs, half-cooked rice, chopped onions, salt and black pepper to taste. Knead the mass with your hands or with a spoon.
step 4 out of 8
We form round meatballs from minced meat. We roll each ball well between the palms so that the minced meat thickens, the excess air comes out, and the surface becomes smooth - then the meatballs will become dense.
step 5 out of 8
Heat a small amount of odorless vegetable oil in a frying pan. Pour flour into a shallow plate. We roll each ball of minced meat in flour and put in boiling oil. Fry them at a high temperature of the stove until a pronounced golden brown crust. Then we remove the semi-finished meatballs from the pan and temporarily place them on a plate. Peel the remaining onion and carrots, rinse and dry. Cut the onion into small cubes, grate the carrots.
step 6 out of 8
Add vegetable oil to the pan and add chopped onions and carrots. With occasional stirring, fry the vegetables until the carrots are soft and light brown.
step 7 out of 8
We set the temperature of the plate to a minimum, level the vegetable layer in the pan and put the fried "hedgehogs" on top. Add sour cream to the pan and pour in water in such an amount that the meatballs are covered by 2/3 of their height. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and close the lid. Simmer the dish at the lowest temperature for forty-five minutes.
step 8 out of 8
Serve hot meatballs with thick sour cream sauce and vegetables. You can sprinkle portions with chopped herbs to add flavor and refresh the taste.

Bon Appetit!
