Meatballs Hedgehogs
Ingredients

- Lean Beef 20 oz
- Thyme 1 sprig
- Garlic 2 cloves
- Scallions to taste
- Rice 5 oz
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cook the rice until half-done (like Italian pasta — al dente).
Step 2
Mix the ground beef, rice, chopped onion, and add salt.
Step 3
Roll the mixture into balls about 4–5 cm in diameter.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet and sauté the minced garlic. Add finely chopped canned tomatoes along with their juice and a sprig of thyme.
Step 5
Bring to a boil and tightly place the meatballs in the skillet. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
Step 6
If the liquid evaporates quickly, add a little water or tomato juice. When the meatballs are ready, the rice grains will start to poke out like needles. Serve with the tomato sauce they were stewed in.
