Step cooking

Cooking cutlets

1. The first step is to cook half a glass of round rice. To do this, rinse it several times under running water, pour two glasses of cold water, put on high heat. When it boils, reduce and cook for 8-10 minutes. It turns out slightly undercooked porridge, after which you need to drain the water, rinse it and leave to cool.
   
2. Cut one medium onion into very small cubes.
   
3. Put 400 grams of minced meat in a deep bowl. If you use meat in a piece, then pre-scroll it in a meat grinder.
   
4. Add chopped onion there and mix.
   
5. Pour the cooked rice porridge into a bowl, half a teaspoon of salt (or to taste) and mix thoroughly.
   
6. Beat one chicken egg and mix again. At this stage, you can try minced salt, and add salt if necessary.
   
7. To form meatballs: put the minced meat in a tablespoon with a slide and transfer from hand to hand about 15 times so that it nails well. Do the same with each ball.
   
8. Pour a small amount of wheat flour for boning into a separate bowl, add a little salt there. Roll each cutlet on all sides in flour.
   
9. Pour 40-50 ml of refined sunflower oil into the pan, warm it well.
   
10. Fry meat balls over medium heat from two sides for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. We do not need to achieve full readiness when frying, because the next step will be stewing.
    
11. Put all the meatballs tightly to each other in a frying pan, pour about a glass of slightly salted boiled water. Balls of meat should only be half-coated with it. Simmer under a closed lid for 15 minutes.
    

Cooking sauce and stew

1. Pour 2 teaspoons of flour into a glass, pour it with five tablespoons of warm water and stir so that there are no lumps.
   
2. Add 1 tbsp. l sour cream and tomato paste, after which also dissolve them. Add water, if necessary, to half a glass. Pour in a quarter of a teaspoon of salt.
   
3. After 15 minutes, evenly distribute the tomato sauce in a pan. Stew for another 10 minutes.
   
4. Delicious meatballs from childhood are ready. We recommend serving them with mashed potatoes or buckwheat. The balls themselves turned out to be juicy and tender, and the gravy will perfectly complement your side dish.
