Delicious meatballs in a pan with gravy. in tomato sauce

I cook meatballs with rice with gravy very often. It doesn’t take much time to cook them, but while they are cooking, you can quickly prepare any side dish, and a full dinner or lunch is ready!

Another good thing about this recipe is that meatballs can be made and frozen, and, if necessary, taken out and cooked already with sauce.

Speaking of sauce, I always cook my favorite sauce with tomato paste and sour cream for meatballs.

Let's prepare all the products and start cooking minced meatballs with rice and gravy. The cooking time can be shortened if the rice is boiled ahead of time. If you have not done this, then it is with the preparation of rice that you need to start. Boil the rice in boiling salted water until cooked, see the rice cooking time on the packaging for it.

Put the minced meat in a bowl, add finely chopped onion.

Crack the egg into the minced meat and add salt and black pepper.

Finely chop the parsley with a knife and also put it in a bowl.

Put the boiled rice in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well minced meat for meatballs.

From the minced meat we form meatballs, in size - a little larger than a walnut. Roll each meatball in flour.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs for 4-5 minutes on each side. Then add tomato paste to the fried meatballs. Add 200 ml of boiling water.

Pour flour into sour cream and add 100 ml of water. Mix everything well together, this is necessary so that the flour does not form lumps when added to the gravy.

Pour the resulting mixture into the pan to the meatballs. Salt and pepper the sauce to taste. Simmer meatballs in gravy over low heat for 15 minutes.

Serve ready-made meatballs with rice and gravy in portions with mashed potatoes or fresh salad.

Enjoy your meal!

From minced meat you can cook a large number of delicious dishes. And one of these dishes is meatballs. You can cook them quickly and in a very diverse way, using not only meat, but also poultry and fish.

Sometimes they are confused with meatballs, they do not see any difference in these two dishes. However, it exists, although it cannot be called too significant. But you can tell one from the other.

Meatballs are a separate dish that is cooked with gravy in a pan, or in the oven. Moreover, not only rice, but also vegetables can be added to minced meat. They can be served with or without a side dish.

Meatballs are also made from minced meat, but their size is much smaller than their counterparts. Minced meat is made with the addition of spices and herbs, after which they are boiled in broth, and therefore, often, they are part of a dish, such as soup. You can see recipes for such soups.

Let's take a look at how you can deliciously cook this quick and beloved by many dish using the example of very tasty recipes.

We will cook this dish with the addition of rice, and we will have tomato sauce as a gravy. It will turn out incredibly tasty!

We will need:

• minced meat - 500 gr
• boiled rice until half cooked - 1.5 cups
• egg - 1 pc.
• onion - 1 pc.
• salt, pepper - to taste
• spices - coriander, zira (you can use any for meat)
• flour - 2 - 3 tbsp. spoons

For tomato sauce

• carrots - 1 pc.
• onion - 1 pc.
• garlic - 1 - 2 cloves
• tomato paste - 1 tbsp. spoon with slide
• sugar - 1 tbsp. a spoon
• paprika - 1 tbsp. a spoon
• dill
• bay leaf - 2 pcs
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

We will divide the entire cooking process into three stages.

1. cooking meatballs
2. Preparing the tomato sauce
3. Cooking meatballs in tomato sauce

1. Onion cut into small cubes. The less we cut, the better. Since the meatballs are cooked quickly enough, it will be good if the onion is completely “dissolved” in the meat. Large pieces will not have time to do this, and the onion will feel crunchy on the teeth. And in products, a homogeneous base is important so that nothing stands out to taste.

To prepare minced meat, we need one onion head, and leave the second head for the sauce.

2. Grate carrots on a medium grater.

3. Chop the garlic. Burn garlic at your discretion, as you like. You can cut one or two cloves. And you can do without it altogether. But it always gives a very important, very aromatic taste note. Therefore, at least a little, but it is necessary to add.

4. Our stuffing is already ready, you can use any one you like. Very tasty and tender meatballs are obtained from mixed minced beef + pork. But sometimes, according to this recipe, I cook using minced chicken as well. Then the dish turns out to be dietary and, which is nice, more economical. And delicious too.

5. We should have rice pre-boiled until half cooked. This means that it had to be boiled for 10-12 minutes, then drained and allowed to cool. If you use round-grain varieties of rice, then they are very soft and quite sticky. Such rice can be rinsed with warm boiled water.

If you take long-grain rice, and even more so steamed, then it is no longer necessary to wash it.

Add rice to minced meat, along with chopped onion and chopped garlic.

6. Then add the egg, salt, pepper and any spices for the meat, if desired. I add my favorite spices - ground coriander and cumin. I love them and add them to any meat dishes.

Stir the mince thoroughly until smooth.

7. Let's start to form our products. For that we need flour, well, minced meat itself.

We take the minced meat with a tablespoon and roll a ball out of it. Try to take the same amount of minced meat each time so that the products are all the same size. This is important so that everything cooks evenly.

If the minced meat sticks to the hands, and this can happen if it is slightly greasy, then they can be moistened with cold water before each new product.

8. Pour the flour onto a small flat plate. Roll each ball in it on all sides and put on a cutting board.

9. Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan. It should be hot enough so that the meatballs can quickly fry in it, both outside and inside. But also very hot, so that they do not redden too much.

We lay out the finished fried products in a separate pan.

10. Let's make the tomato sauce. To do this, in a separate pan, fry the remaining onion in a small amount of oil. Fry until soft or slightly golden.

12. Add carrots and stew all together until the carrots are soft.

13. Then add tomato paste along with sugar and fry everything together for another 3 - 4 minutes.

14. Pour in hot water. Vary the amount of water yourself. It all depends on how much liquid you want to have in the dish. You can add from 1.5 to 3 glasses.

15. Bring the sauce to a boil, add paprika, it will give us a richer color, ground black pepper, salt and bay leaf. You can also add chopped herbs. I harvested it, and therefore I now have greens for every taste. I add dill to the sauce. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes.

16. Pour the sauce over the meatballs laid out in the pan and simmer over low heat with the lid closed for 30 minutes.

17. Put the finished products on a plate, pour over a small amount of sauce. Serve sprinkled with fresh herbs.

As you can see, the dish looks very appetizing, and it turns out delicious. In addition, it is prepared quite quickly and not at all difficult.

"Russian" meatballs with mushroom filling in sour cream filling, cooked in the oven

Unlike many recipes, meatballs prepared in this way have their own name and are called "Russian". A distinctive feature is that they are prepared with dried or fresh mushrooms. Have you ever made this recipe? Write, very interesting!

We will need:

• beef - 400 gr
• lard - 100 gr
• fresh or frozen mushrooms - 180 -200 gr
• or dried - 30 - 40 gr
• onion - 1 - 2 pcs
• potatoes - 8 pcs
• butter or vegetable oil - 100 gr
• salt, pepper to taste
• flour - 2 - 3 tbsp. spoons

For the gravy (sauce):

• sour cream - 3/4 cup
• butter - 50 gr
• flour - 1 tbsp. a spoon
• salt - to taste

Cooking:

This recipe is by no means easy to make. For everything, everything will take about 2 hours. Cooking a dish is divided into several parts, and each requires both time and labor costs, you won’t have to sit.

But it's worth it! The dish turns out simply excellent. And it shouldn't be otherwise, mushrooms combined with potatoes, and even with meat - it's just a taste firework! "Russian" - mediocre meatballs would not be called!

1. Wash the meat, dry it and cut it into small pieces together with the fat. Then scroll it in a meat grinder, add 1 tbsp. teaspoon water and salt to taste. Mix.

Water is added to minced meat to make it more juicy. Products from such minced meat are more tender and tasty, they have more juice. But add a little so that the minced meat does not become liquid, otherwise it will be difficult to form meatballs later.

In principle, any meat can be used, including two or three varieties can be mixed. It will only taste better.

2. Rinse fresh mushrooms, defrost frozen ones, soak dry ones in water, and then boil in salted water. I use frozen boletus mushrooms, we froze these mushrooms ourselves. But if you don’t have your own mushrooms, then you can buy champignons and use them.

I thawed the mushrooms, and then cut them into small pieces.

3. Cut the onion into small cubes. Try to cut it as small as possible so that it does not crunch in the finished dish and is not felt at all.

4. Fry the onion and mushrooms in a small amount of oil, slightly salting them to taste. At the same time, use a minimum of oils, otherwise the dish will turn out to be too fatty. We also have it in our recipe.

5. Form small balls from the cooked minced meat. I got 7 of them. By the number of finished meat products, I also divided the mushroom filling into 7 parts, so that everything was enough and nothing was left. Then we need to form cakes from each ball. In the middle of each of them put the filling of mushrooms with onions.

6. Then close up so that the filling remains inside. Jewelry work, it is not desirable that the mushrooms crawl out. Form all the balls at once. Then roll them in flour.

Put on a preheated pan with a little oil and fry first on one side, and then on the other. Oil again, pour a minimum. Our meatballs contain fat, it will evaporate and the products will be fried in oil and fat at the same time.

So it's no coincidence that they are so tasty. Everything is thought out!

At the same time, make sure that the fire is not too large, and that the meatballs do not burn. When one side is browned, take two forks and use them to turn the products over to the other side.

See how much fat has formed.

7. In the meantime, our products are fried, let's take care of potatoes. It must be peeled and cut into small slices or sticks.

Fry in a separate frying pan until cooked with a minimum amount of oil. Salt to taste.

8. Prepare sour cream sauce. To do this, fry the flour in a dry frying pan. So that it does not burn, watch the fire, it should not be too big. You also need to stir it constantly. Fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly creamy.

9. Add butter, it is best to use butter 82% fat. As you can see, enough oil is used, but it is necessary. It is not recommended to reduce its quantity. Thanks to the oil, the meatballs will turn out to be simply the most tender. In addition, subsequently, excess oil will drain into the mold and it can not be used.

After the butter is melted, add sour cream, salt. I also add pepper to make the gravy hotter. At the same time, mix everything thoroughly. Bring to a boil and turn off. The mixture should thicken a little.

10. Prepare a baking dish. I will use an elongated glass ovenproof dish.

11. Put the meatballs in the center of the mold. Arrange potatoes around the edges.

Put sour cream sauce on each meatball with a spoon, it will turn out like a fur coat. Under it, they will bake in the oven, and will not dry out at all. They will remain juicy inside, and the crust on the outside will also remain.

12. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put the mold in it and bake until the contents are lightly browned. I kept it in the oven for 20 minutes. This time was enough for everything to be completely ready!

13. After that, get the form, put the meatballs with potatoes in the plates. Garnish with fresh herbs and fresh or canned cucumber. I cut

As expected, the meatballs turned out juicy, soft, tender and incredibly tasty. In addition, mushrooms brought the smell of the forest into them, butter gave its own unique aroma and taste. And all this, combined with your favorite fried potatoes, is simply impossible to put into words! Be sure to cook this dish, it will become your favorite!

Meatballs are distinguished from ordinary cutlets by the method of preparing minced meat: it must contain eggs, more soaked bread and onions (and sometimes other ingredients) compared to cutlets, but most importantly, minced meat for meatballs must be beaten off. Otherwise, the meatballs will fall apart during cooking.

How to cook minced meatballs with rice and gravy in the oven - a simple step-by-step recipe

I picked up this wonderful recipe from a friend who works as a cook in the dining room. The main thing is that it is cooked completely in the oven and does not require additional stewing in a saucepan.

To cook this culinary, I'm not afraid of this word, "masterpiece" you will need:

• minced meat - 700 g;
• rice - half a glass;
• chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• one large onion;
• salt, ground pepper;
• tomato sauce - 3 tbsp. spoons;
• sour cream - 3 tbsp. spoons;
• flour - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
• water - 2 glasses.

Cooking step by step:

Step one. First of all, I boil the rice, drain the excess liquid, if it remains after cooking, and set it aside. While the cereal is cooling, I peel the onion and finely chop (you can grate it on a fine grater).

In a large bowl, mix the meat base of the dish with onions, spices and eggs. Then I add the cooled rice there and mix well again.

Step two. I form small balls from the resulting mass and put them on a baking sheet with high sides so that they do not touch.

Step three. Making gravy is very easy. Pour the sifted flour into a bowl, then add sauce and sour cream on top. We drive everything with a whisk until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Add water and stir again.

Step Four. Pour our meatballs with the resulting sauce and send them to the oven for 45 minutes. Top with foil.

These meatballs should be served in portions with piping heat. If I am waiting for guests, I put them in clay pots and sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Oven-stewed meatballs, in my opinion, have a richer taste. Especially if they are filled with sour cream sauce and topped with hard cheese.

Required set of products:

• meat (preferably poultry) - 600 gr;
• rice - 0.5 st.;
• hard cheese - 150 gr;
• onion - 1;
• egg - 2 pcs.;
• garlic - 2 cloves;
• sour cream - a glass.;
• flour - 70 g;
• salt, spices.

Cooking process:

About 15 minutes before the start of cooking, I boil rice until half cooked, and leave it to cool. I also cook minced chicken thighs. Having rid them of bones and skin, I grind them together with onions in a meat grinder.

In the bowl where the base of the dish will be prepared, I spread the minced meat and drive in the egg. I mix everything well.

Next I add rice, salt and ground pepper. Mix thoroughly and taste. I make medium-sized balls and roll them in flour.

I put a frying pan with vegetable oil on the stove, and fry the blanks over high heat until a crust appears. Then I transfer it to a baking sheet. And I turn on the oven so that it heats up to 180C.

To create a gentle sour cream sauce, I peel the garlic and pass a few of its cloves through a special press. I add salt, sour cream and a mixture of peppers to it and mix. Sour cream is better to take liquid, otherwise you will have to pour in more water.

I pour the prepared sauce on a baking sheet and send it to bake for half an hour. Then I take them out, rub them with cheese and put them in the oven for another 10 minutes.

You can decorate the dish before serving with chopped herbs.
