Hedgehogs are delicious meatballs made from rice and minced meat. They combine the taste of both meat and vegetable dishes. Hedgehogs are quite easy and simple to prepare. Perhaps the most difficult thing is to choose from which type of meat to make meat balls with rice. They are usually made with pork, beef and chicken. Various combinations are also welcome, and the proportions can be tailored to your taste.
It is necessary
-
- pork pulp - 300 g;
- beef pulp - 300 g;
- long grain rice - 1 cup;
- onions - 2 heads;
- carrots - 1 pc;

Instructions
Step 1
The first cooking method involves using boiled rice. Make minced pork and beef. Remove films and tendons from the meat. Then twist through a meat grinder. Peel the head of the onion and cut it into slices. Pass the onion together with the minced meat through a meat grinder. This will add juiciness to the meat.
Step 2
Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Chop the second onion finely. Fry the onions and carrots in vegetable oil. Pour a glass of rice into a colander. Rinse it under running water until the flowing water is no longer cloudy. Pour boiling water over the rice and cook until half cooked.
Step 3
In a deep bowl, combine the minced meat, cooked rice, sautéed carrots and onions. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Mix the mixture well. With your hands soaked in cold water, take pieces of minced meat and form small balls of 20-30 grams each. Arrange the balls in a deep saucepan so that they do not touch each other.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine ketchup with mayonnaise, add a little water. Pour the sauce over the cooked hedgehogs in a saucepan so that they are only half hidden. Cover the saucepan or cover with foil. Place in the oven. Ten minutes before cooking, remove the lid to brown the patties.
Step 5
Hedgehogs can be cooked using raw rice. To do this, add a glass of clean dry rice to the minced meat, which was passed through a meat grinder, along with chopped onions. Mix the mass with fried carrots and onions. Add pepper and salt to taste. Make round cutlets. In a hot skillet, quickly fry them until crisp. Place in a deep saucepan.
Step 6
Pour hedgehogs with two glasses of meat broth. And add two tablespoons of tomato paste, three bay leaves, five black peppercorns, two cloves of garlic, crushed with salt. Add water if necessary. The liquid should completely cover the hedgehogs. Put the saucepan over low heat. Simmer covered for thirty minutes.
