Pin Recipe Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly several times. Simmer it until half-cooked (about 10 minutes). Turn off the heat, drain the rice, and let it cool for 5 minutes. Rinse it again, then mix it with the minced meat.
- Add the 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of spices to the meat and rice mixture.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs and place them in a baking dish.
- Finely chop the onions and grate the carrot coarsely. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the carrot and fry for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Pour the water into the pan, add the sour cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of spices. Mix well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat.
- Pour enough water into the baking dish with the meatballs so the liquid reaches halfway up the meatballs. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and sprinkle the minced garlic on top. The liquid should fully cover all the meatballs.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 225 °C (437 °F) for 1 hour. After 30 minutes, uncover the foil, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning or add more water if needed. Serve with your choice of side dish.
Bon Appetit!
