Sometimes it is difficult to decide what to cook with beef so that the whole family will like it. And if the meat is also harsh, then the choice of possible dishes is completely limited. We suggest paying attention to this recipe, which produces funny "hedgehogs" with rice "needles" sticking out in different directions. We recommend mincing beef through a meat grinder twice to chop the fibers as much as possible. So the finished meatballs will be softer and juicier.
Ingredients
Cooking process
For the finished hedgehogs to be tender, the ground beef must be fine-grained. To do this, choose a grinder grid with the smallest holes. If necessary, pass the mass through the device twice. Place the cooked minced meat in a bowl. Peel the onions, wash and grind them in a meat grinder or cut them into small cubes with a knife. Rinse raw rice thoroughly until translucent and let the water drain.
We moisten our hands in cold water so that the minced meat does not stick to the palms, and we form balls with a diameter of four to five centimeters. We try to compact the minced meat, rolling well each meatball in our hands - this is a guarantee that they will not fall apart during subsequent cooking.
Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan. We put the meatballs and fry them at medium-high temperature until a blush, periodically turning over. When the meat balls are covered with a golden brown crust, pour in boiling water in such an amount that it covers the meatballs up to half their height in the pan. We close the dishes with a lid and simmer the "hedgehogs" for thirty minutes. It is important that the liquid does not evaporate completely during extinguishing. If necessary, add water a little at a time.
Bon Appetit!
