Rice with minced meatballs, tomatoes, and vegetables is delicious. And such a dish is prepared quite quickly and simply – in a frying pan! Rice is stewed along with fried meatballs (meatballs) and vegetables, soaked in meat juices, and turns out to be very tasty and aromatic. Thanks to tomatoes, the rice is also quite juicy. Worth a try!
