Meatballs like in kindergarten with gravy

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make meatballs like in kindergarten with gravy? Prepare the necessary ingredients. If you have a desire, you can take the ready-made minced meat, and not twist it yourself, as I do. I have pork tenderloin with a little fat. Take the rice round or long, choose for yourself. Rinse it well. Peel and wash the onion.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fill the pot with water. Put the rice in a saucepan and put it on the stove. Cook the rice until tender, salting with water. I have two glasses of water added to half a cup of rice.

3. Step 3:

   

   Discard the boiled rice in a colander and let the water drain completely.

4. Step 4:

   

   Twist pork through a meat grinder together with onions. To make it more convenient, cut the onion into 4 parts (do not forget to remove the buttocks).

5. Step 5:

   

   Add boiled rice to the minced pork.

6. Step 6:

   

   Beat a raw chicken egg into the minced meat.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add salt.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pepper. And mix the minced meat well with a spoon, and then with your hands.

9. Step 9:

   

   With wet hands, form round meatballs from minced meat. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of wheat flour into a flat plate. Roll each meatball in flour on all sides.

11. Step 10:

    

    Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil on the stove. Fry the meatballs, gently turning them on different sides. It is necessary that a ruddy crust appears on them.

12. Step 11:

    

    That's how they turn out for me in the frying process. Please note that the meatballs should fit everything in the pan.

13. Step 12:

    

    For the sauce, dilute the tomato paste with water in a deep dish. I have one glass of water.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour the meatballs in a frying pan with tomato sauce and simmer them over low heat for about 10 minutes. Determine the exact time by your plate.

15. Step 14:

    

    Separately, in a bowl, mix sour cream with a spoonful of flour. Pour in half a glass of water and stir until smooth. To make the taste of the sauce more pleasant, you can pre-fry the flour in a dry frying pan until the color changes slightly.

16. Step 15:

    

    Pour the sour cream and flour mixture into the meatballs and simmer the dish for another 10-15 minutes under the lid on low heat. At this stage, you need to achieve the desired density of gravy. My family likes it thinner, so I added another 0.5 cups of water.

17. Step 16:

    

    Then add the bay leaf to the dish, simmer it for another 2 minutes and turn off the heat.

18. Step 17:

    

    Call the kids to the table soon and try it yourself! Our meatballs are ready as in kindergarten!
