Meat Hedgehogs
Main Dishes • Switzerland
Description
A classic dish of Soviet cuisine — meatballs with rice, code-named 'Hedgehogs.' The long-grain rice serves as the 'spines.' This dish is great because it is very easy to prepare and contains approximately equal amounts of protein and carbohydrates. They can be served without a side dish, accompanied by the same sauce used for braising the 'Hedgehogs.'
