Beef and rice balls in creamy sauce

50 min4 serv.19 февр. 2026 г.

Description

The recipe won't take much time. If desired, you can prepare the creamy sauce for the "hedgehogs" using cream with up to 20% fat content or sour cream. Feel free to add chopped herbs and pressed garlic cloves to the sauce if you prefer more intense flavors. You can use chicken, pork, pork-beef, or any other minced meat for the "hedgehogs." Be sure to add an egg to the meat mixture—the egg white will prevent the hedgehogs from falling apart during cooking. Serve hot.
