Minced hedgehogs in sour cream
For their preparation you will need about 300 grams of minced meat. It is better if it will be several types of meat (for example, beef + pork). Also take about 100 grams of rice. There is also room for your own preferences. You can take ordinary round, wild or long-grain rice. As ingredients, you will also need a glass of water, two small onions or one large, one carrot and one egg. You need to prepare a mixture of stewed vegetables in advance, but any raw ones will do. We also prepare one spoonful of ketchup and mayonnaise, two tablespoons of sour cream, a small spoonful of mustard, seasonings (paprika, salt, turmeric, any pepper and oregano) and fresh herbs (dill).
These are all the ingredients you need to make hedgehogs with rice. Now let's start creating them. Rice must be boiled until half cooked. Then we rinse it well and dry it a little. Stuffing mix with finely chopped onions, eggs and spices. After that, knead it thoroughly. Now add boiled rice to it and mix well again.
Next, we form the hedgehogs from the minced meat. You need to do this with your hands dipped in water so that the meat does not stick to them. We put the pan on the fire and fry the hedgehogs in a small amount of vegetable oil. Separately, mix sour cream, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup and stewed or raw vegetables. Pour water into this mixture, add salt to taste. Now pour the hedgehogs in a pan with the prepared sauce and simmer for about 30 minutes. Minced hedgehogs can be served as a separate dish. Any vegetables, greens, salads and side dishes are also suitable for them.
To give children pleasure and make their food more interesting, you can cook hedgehogs with filling. To do this, you will need 10 boiled eggs, 500 grams of any minced meat, two cloves of garlic, several tablespoons of mayonnaise and sour cream, one or two boiled carrots and one raw egg. You also need to prepare spaghetti for decoration.
10 eggs are pre-boiled and peeled. Then cut them into two halves and remove the yolk. Knead the yolks with a fork and mix them with grated cheese, carrots, chopped garlic, mayonnaise or sour cream. Salt to taste. We start half the eggs with this mixture and combine them in pairs.
Add the chopped onion, pepper, egg, salt to the minced meat and mix it well. Now, in a small amount of minced meat, lay the stuffed egg and form an oval. Then we give it a slightly elongated shape that resembles a hedgehog. Imitate spaghetti needles from above. We send the hedgehogs to the oven for 30-40 minutes. You can serve them with any side dish. It is not only tasty, but also very funny. Such food is suitable for a children's menu.
