   In a separate bowl, combine the prepared minced meat and raw rice. Add fried onion and egg. Add a little salt and spices to taste.

   Mix all ingredients well with each other until smooth. To make the meat mass denser, beat it on the bottom of the bowl several times.

5. STEP 5

   

   To prepare the sauce, peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices. Fry the carrots for 2-3 minutes until soft, adding a little vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

A delicious lunch dish that perfectly satisfies hunger. Hedgehogs with rice and tomato paste are similar to meatballs, but they differ from them precisely in the rice “needles”. The gravy turned out very tasty, great recipe! Thank you very much!

I tried this recipe today. Everything is good, except for one thing! The rice needs to be added when half cooked. Although..... maybe my rice is “long lasting”))))) It wasn’t crunchy, but it was a little tough. It turned out delicious))))) I recommend it.
