Meatballs with rice like in kindergarten

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products. Take any meat you like. I have minced pork ready at the moment. On the meat grinder, scroll the meat on the grill with the smallest holes.

2. Step 2:

   

   Now let's get on with rice. It needs to be boiled until half cooked in salted water. In fact, it does not matter at all which rice is round or oblong. It will not affect the taste of the dish. Rinse the grits in several waters, fill with water and cook until "aldente". After all, we will still stew meatballs later - the rice will be cooked and will not be overcooked. If there is a little water left in the rice, throw it into a colander, let the excess liquid drain.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now the bow. The more - the juicier the meatballs will be. But the onion needs to be chopped very well. You can grate it on a grater, or you can, as I did, grind it into a mush in a blender.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a bowl, combine minced meat, cooled rice and chopped onion.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add one egg, salt and pepper to taste. You can add your favorite dried herbs.

6. Step 6:

   

   Now we thoroughly knead our minced meat, beat it off. So that all the ingredients are combined into one mass. Try for salt.

7. Step 7:

   

   With wet hands we form small meatballs and lightly breaded them in flour.

8. Step 8:

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry our blanks to a ruddy color from all sides.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the fried meatballs in a saucepan or in a frying pan with high sides.

11. Step 10:

    

    Dilute tomato paste in a glass of warm water.

12. Step 11:

    

    Pour this sauce over the meatballs, cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer over moderate heat for 10 minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Then again in a glass of water we dilute sour cream and flour so that there are no lumps.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour this sauce over the meatballs and simmer until tender for 10-15 minutes. Taste the gravy, if necessary, add salt. Just keep in mind that the tomato paste is salty, do not over-salt the dish.

15. Step 14:

    

    Meatballs in gravy as in kindergarten are ready! Delicious with mashed potatoes or pasta. Also serve them with fresh vegetables.

16. Step 15:
