Motley sauce + tender meat balls+ favorite side dish = delicious dinner+ compliments from family + good mood.

What will we cook from:

How to cook the most delicious meat "hedgehogs" with rice in a slow cooker:

If you don't love Bell pepper, you can safely exclude it from the list of ingredients. Otherwise, wash the small pod. Remove the stem and seeds. Cut half of the pepper into small cubes.
Prepare the basis for minced meat "hedgehogs". Minced meat can be used not only combined. Pure pork will do. Or beef. And even "hedgehogs" from minced chicken will not be dry. Vegetable sauce and cooking in a slow cooker will make the dish tender. Mix minced meat with chopped pepper. Drive in a big one egg. Pour in the rice. It doesn't need to be cooked. It is advisable to use long-grain cereals.
Pass a couple of garlic cloves through the press. No fresh? Will go and granulated. Add salt and a little ground pepper. Use other meat spices if you wish. Or ready-made seasoning for meatballs.
Mix the contents of the bowl thoroughly. Knead with your hands until it turns into an elastic mass. If the minced meat is saturated with air, the “hedgehogs” will fall apart, disintegrate and spread when frying and stewing in a slow cooker. Therefore, beat off the meat base for future ruddy rice balls. Throw it a few times on the cutting board. The mass will become denser.
Blind small "hedgehogs" from minced meat with rice, as in the photo. I didn't pan the meatballs with anything. But if you have a desire, roll them in flour or crushed breadcrumbs.
Pour some oil into the multicooker bowl. Fry the balls on one side until golden brown. Mode - "Frying". Time - 3-4 minutes.
Gently turn the "hedgehogs" over to another barrel. Wait until it appears golden brown and on it. If you have a small multicooker bowl, like mine, you will have to fry the hedgehog balls in several passes. When everything is ready, put them back into the slow cooker. And start making the sauce.
Of course, vegetables for the sauce can also be prepared in parallel with frying. Clean the carrot. Cut into strips. Or grate on a coarse grater. I like the first option better. Firstly, because this is how carrots retain their shape even after prolonged stewing. Secondly, because I do not have the usual coarse grater.
Peel the onion too. Finely chop.
Tomatoes. It would be nice to peel them off. So that small hard particles do not overshadow the tasting of “hedgehogs” from minced meat with rice. How it's done. Boil the kettle. In the place where the tomato is attached to the stem, make two notches crosswise. Not very deep, just enough to cut into the skin. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes. After 7-10 minutes, take out the tomatoes. Remove skin. And cut the pulp into small cubes. Or puree in a blender.
Add onions, carrots and tomatoes to the hedgehogs. Onion with carrots can be fried separately. Pour in some water or broth. Add a small pinch of pepper and salt. Stir gently. Close the multicooker. Select the "Extinguishing" mode. Cook 30-40 minutes.
Remove the finished juicy "hedgehogs" from the multicooker and transfer to a plate. Pour motley vegetable sauce and serve. Serve while delicious diet meatballs still rise ornately fragrant steam. Because it's not as tasty when it's cold.

How to cook hedgehogs?

There are many recipes for how to cook hedgehogs. However, in most of them, rice is added to minced meat, which, as a result, does not even make meatballs look like real hedgehogs. To achieve maximum similarity, rice should stick out like thorns.

To prepare this interesting and tasty dish, you will need the following ingredients:
Minced meat - 600 -700 grams (you can take minced meat from one type of meat, you can mix it, if you wish);
rice - 1/2 cup (you can take a little more);
one fairly large bulb;
one egg (in last resort, you can do without it);
salt, pepper - to taste.

First of all, you need to prepare rice. That is the whole secret of success. To do this, rinse the rice three times in cool water, rubbing it with your palms. Then put in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Now rice should be left for 2 hours.

At this time, prepare the minced meat. If you have ice cream, be sure to defrost it naturally first. Then transfer to a dish and add finely chopped onions to it. It will be even better if you pass the onion through a meat grinder or grate it. So you can achieve maximum uniformity of minced meat consistency.

When the rice is ready, drain the water and dry the cereal a little. Add egg, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Then we begin to sculpt balls from minced meat.

After that, each ball must be thoroughly rolled in rice. Then put them in a low pan with thick walls. It is necessary that there is very little space between the balls. As soon as all the balls are ready, you need to pour water into the pan, about half the height of the hedgehogs. Put it all together on fire. Let it boil, then reduce the gas and cook for 20-25 minutes. Then turn it off and serve the dish hot with sour cream and herbs.

During the cooking process, the rice will rise and stick out like the needles of a real hedgehog. The only fact is that it is better to take rice with long grains, and not round. This dish will not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, you must agree that it is not at all difficult to cook it. You just need to try a little, and you will be rewarded with the beauty of the new treat and the enthusiastic phrases of loved ones.

Rice must be thoroughly washed and mixed with ready-made minced meat. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Add a beaten egg (then the hedgehogs will not fall apart). Mix well again.

Place an oiled frying pan with high sides on the fire to heat up. While it is heating, form the minced meat into balls. Then start frying the balls, on both sides until light golden brown.

When all the hedgehogs are fried, put them in a pan and pour sour cream (you can dilute it warm water) so that it covers the hedgehogs. Then close the lid, bring the mass to a boil and, reducing the gas, leave to simmer for about half an hour.

Hedgehogs are one of the favorite treats for kids. They are delicious, tender, juicy and beautiful. It is convenient for mothers - there is no need to decorate the dish. It is enough to blind the hedgehogs not round, but slightly oblong, so that they look like an animal, make eyes and a nose. However, the dish can be called meatballs or lazy cabbage rolls, because it is their dish that resembles.

So, for the dish you will need: 300 grams of meat (you can chicken, turkey, veal or beef), 1 egg, 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 bell pepper, half a glass of long-grain rice.

First boil the rice. Before pouring it into boiling water in a saucepan, rinse thoroughly. Cook until half cooked. By the way, it is not forbidden to cook rice in a double boiler.

The next step is to make minced meat. We pass meat, carrots, onions through a meat grinder and bell pepper. Next, add grits to the minced meat and vegetables. We break the egg there, for the stickiness of the hedgehogs.

Mix the mass thoroughly. With wet hands we form oblong meatballs from it. Do not forget about the eyes and nose from the crust rye bread. Properly cook baby hedgehogs for a couple. Therefore, we alternately put them in a double boiler. There they have to prepare for 30-35 minutes.

When the recipe is already familiar to you, you can fantasize. So, you can cook tomato sauce or add various spices to sour cream: sweet pepper, parsley, basil and green onion.

You can take any meat for hedgehogs, but I prefer to cook minced pork with beef, it seems to me the most delicious. Ready stuffing I do not recommend taking. Firstly, it cannot be compared in taste with homemade, and, secondly, it is not known what was put into it. So do not be lazy, cook the minced meat yourself, your efforts will be rewarded with great taste.

First, boil the rice in salted water until half cooked, that is, after boiling, let it boil for 7-8 minutes. In water, instead of salt, I crumble a chicken bouillon cube. Then drain the water through a colander.

We scroll the meat in a meat grinder.

Together with the meat, you can scroll the peeled onions and carrots, but I like it better if the vegetables are fried a little first.

So, finely chop the onion and fry in vegetable oil until soft, until the onion just starts to turn golden.

Three carrots on a fine grater, add to the onion and continue to fry, stirring, until the carrots are soft.

Mix minced meat, rice, onion with carrots, beaten egg and 1-2 cloves of garlic passed through a press in a cup. Salt, pepper to taste and add any dry herbs that you like.

We mix all the ingredients and get this stuffing:

Now we roll up round hedgehog meatballs with a diameter of about 5 cm with our hands and put them in a saucepan or deep frying pan. From this amount of products, 11-12 hedgehogs are obtained.

Pour hot water from the kettle up to about half the meatballs, salt to taste, close the lid, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.

And while the hedgehogs are stewing, prepare the sour cream sauce. To do this, add 1 tbsp to sour cream. l. tomato paste or 2 grated tomatoes without skins and 2 chopped garlic cloves.

Stir, add salt to taste, 1 tbsp. l. flour without a slide and mix well again so that there are no lumps.

Add 1/2 cup hot water from the kettle and stir until smooth. The sauce is ready.

When the hedgehogs have been stewed in water for half an hour, add sour cream sauce to the pan.

Along with the sauce, you can also add some dry seasonings, for example, basil, oregano, nutmeg etc.

We continue to simmer on low heat for another 20-30 minutes until fully cooked.

Serve the hedgehogs to the table, pouring sauce and sprinkling with chopped herbs.

I also suggest looking at the recipe for making meatballs with oatmeal and an apple, baked on pineapple slices in the oven, and a recipe meatballs with vegetables. The dishes are easy to prepare and delicious.

Minced hedgehogs with rice stewed with gravy in a frying pan

This is the most delicious recipe cooking hedgehogs with gravy in a frying pan, it’s not for nothing that a bunch of sites all over the Internet stole it from me and placed it on their pages, even though these hedgehogs were cooked somewhat against the rules. But trust me, it tastes better this way. If you are against theft, please support me, and if you see the same recipe somewhere else, write to them in the comments that they did a bad thing. So. The secret of the tenderness of my hedgehogs is that the rice is boiled, and the meatballs themselves are languishing in vegetable sauce under the lid. Nothing complicated. Such hedgehogs are prepared with rice in a pan, without tedious baking in the oven.

Hedgehog Ingredients:

(for 1 medium pan)

400 g minced meat,

2 medium onions

1 large carrot

2 large tomatoes (or a tablespoon of tomato paste + flour),

Recipe for minced hedgehogs:

Boil the rice in advance until half cooked so that it has time to cool. Three carrots on a fine grater. Remove skins from tomatoes.

Cooking minced meat: meat (any to your taste, even beef, even pork, even chicken) is passed through a meat grinder, even (especially) if you use store minced meat. Mix with chopped onion and cooled rice.

Break the chicken egg into fash, a little milk and mix well.

We sculpt balls from the resulting minced meat, roll in flour and put it on a heated frying pan with butter

Fry until golden brown on both sides

We spread the grated carrots to the hedgehogs, fry.

Add tomatoes and some water. Salt. Simmer for 20 minutes covered.

5-7 minutes before readiness, add the onion, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper or seasonings. It will be delicious if you add finely chopped greens.

Winter version of the gravy: in a frying pan with hedgehogs - 1 tablespoon with a slide of tomato paste, fry, pour water, add a tablespoon of flour fried in a dry frying pan, simmer for 20 minutes. Add onion. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Ready.

You can also bake hedgehogs in the oven, usually do it in sour cream or cream sauce (gravy): cook hedgehogs from minced meat, fry in a pan on both sides, put in a baking dish, pour sour cream / cream, salt to taste. Top with grated cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Serve hedgehogs as a side dish or as an independent dish.

Do these hedgehogs remind you of anything? This is a great topping for stuffed vegetables- cabbage (stuffed cabbage rolls will turn out), sweet pepper, zucchini, but minced hedgehogs themselves are very appetizing. And if these hedgehogs from minced meat with rice are sprinkled with cheese on top, you get an excellent and beautiful snack for your holiday table!

Minced hedgehogs with rice with needles (in a frying pan)

In order for the hedgehogs to release their needles, you just need to add not boiled rice, but raw. And for the gravy, then we take at least a glass of water, because the rice will need moisture to cook. And keep in mind that the hedgehogs will then be a little denser, which is why it is better to take the minced meat softer, with a high content of pork or chicken.

The recipe for cooking hedgehogs with rice in this case becomes even easier.. First, prepare the gravy: lightly fry the vegetables, pour water, salt, bring to a boil. We mix all the ingredients for minced meat (raw rice), sculpt hedgehogs, put them in the gravy. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.

Hedgehogs with gravy in a saucepan

To make hedgehogs in such tomato sauce my mother taught me, therefore, as taught, so I always do. Recently I tried to make meatballs in a creamy sauce, it’s very tasty, I won’t hide it, but it’s precisely these hedgehogs in tomato that are a recipe from childhood.

Today, for the sake of interest, I looked on the Internet how people make hedgehogs in gravy and was surprised to find that there are a lot of false recipes, that is, people do not get hedgehogs at all, but ordinary meatballs. Real hedgehogs are not fried beforehand, that's why they are hedgehogs, that rice needles should stick out, and if they are fried, then there will be no needles anymore, here! :)

For hedgehogs you need to take long rice and not round. In general, below I share my recipe for cooking hedgehogs in gravy, today I changed it quite a bit by adding ground tomatoes to the gravy, although I usually get by with just tomato paste.

So, for cooking meat hedgehogs in gravy, I needed:

half a kilo of minced meat

half a glass of rice

one head of onion

salt, pepper, suneli hops

three tomatoes or a tablespoon of tomato paste

one head of onion

one heaping tablespoon of flour

water - 800 ml approximately

salt, pepper, dried herbs

Recipe for hedgehogs in tomato sauce

Pre-boil rice until half cooked and cool it.

I make stuffing: I took the meat, finely chopped the onion, laid out the rice, beat in the egg, peppered it, salted it.

I mixed everything, this is how minced meat for hedgehogs turned out.

I rolled up small koloboks and put the hedgehogs on the bottom of the pan. It’s more convenient for me to do it in a saucepan, because I like there to be a lot of gravy and it all fits.

Ideally, if there are so many hedgehogs by the number that they fit in one row at the bottom of the pan. But it’s not a problem to lay it on top, sometimes I do it that way.

Cooking tomato sauce for hedgehogs

I fried the onions and carrots and put the tomatoes in the pan, which I ground in a blender. This is how I did it for the first time, usually I just used tomato paste, but then I wanted to make a more healthy dish.

I overcooked the tomatoes a little and put the flour in the pan. Mixed, fried for about half a minute.

Then pour boiling water in a thin stream and immediately stir the gravy with a spatula so that the flour disperses. I wait until it boils and stir.

As the gravy boiled, salted, sugared to your taste (you definitely need sugar, otherwise the taste will not be the same, about two whispers), pepper poured dried parsley.

I pour the gravy into a saucepan with hedgehogs and put it on slow fire simmer under closed lid for 20 minutes.

The most thrill, despite any diet, is to gobble up a couple of hedgehogs with mashed potatoes, poured gravy and lick a plate like in childhood :)
