Step 1: prepare rice.

First, we cover the countertop with a kitchen towel, put rice on it and sort through it, remove any kind of dirt. Then we pour the grains into a colander, thoroughly rinse them under trickles of cold running water and put them in a small non-stick, as if not enameled, saucepan.

Step 2: cook rice.

Pour the cereal with the required amount of purified water and put on medium heat, and after boiling, reduce its level to a minimum. Season the bubbling liquid to taste with salt and mix everything with a wooden tablespoon until smooth.

Step 3: prepare the bread.

We don't waste a minute, break two slices of white bread into small pieces, send them to a clean dish, fill in with whole pasteurized milk and leave in this form until use to soften.

Step 4: prepare the onions.

Then put a deep frying pan on medium heat and pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into it. After a few minutes, dip the chopped onion into the heated fat and fry it until soft for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden kitchen spatula. It is not necessary to bring the vegetable to a color change, as soon as it becomes tender, transparent, we transfer it to a small bowl and cool to room temperature near the slightly open window.

When the rice is cooked, its grains will become soft, but retain their integrity, put them in a colander and leave in the sink for 2-3 minutes to drain excess liquid.

Step 7: prepare the minced meat for the meatballs.

Step 8: form the meatballs.

Pour about 100 grams of sifted wheat flour into a small dry dish. Then we moisten our hands in running water and put a tablespoon of minced meat in the palm of our hand. We form a ball of the size of a walnut out of it, roll it in flour and put it on a cutting board or a flat, clean plate. We make other meatballs in the same way, until the rice-meat mixture ends.

Step 9: fry the meatballs.

Now we put the same frying pan on medium heat and pour 60 milliliters of vegetable oil into it, this is about 3–3.5 tablespoons, although more is possible, it all depends on how fatty dishes you like. As soon as it warms up, we lower the first batch of meatballs there and fry them on all sides until a light golden crust, periodically turning from side to side with a table fork. Then, using a wooden kitchen spatula, transfer the browned meat balls to a clean dish, send the next portion into the pan and cook them as well until everything is over.

Step 10: prepare the sour cream sauce.

After the meatballs are fried, rinse the pan, dry it with paper towels and put it back on medium heat. We put a piece of butter there.

When it melts and also warms up well, pour a tablespoon of sifted wheat flour into it.

Pass it to a light yellowish-beige shade, constantly loosening it with a whisk. Then pour a glass of purified water into the pan, put sour cream, salt, black pepper to taste and cook the sauce over low heat until thickened, not letting it boil.

Step 11: we bring the dish to full readiness.

When the sour cream-butter mass begins to resemble a semi-thick dough, like on pancakes, we shift the fried meatballs into it. Gently mix them with the sauce, cover with a lid and simmer for and 15-20 minutes... Then turn off the stove and let the aromatic dish brew for more 10 minutes, and after that we go to taste!

Step 12: serve meatballs in sour cream sauce.

Juicy minced meat balls of any kind in a fragrant, spicy sauce. How does it sound? It seems so delicious, drooling involuntarily. Right?

Well, let's talk a little on this topic. What kind of meat can be used? According to the classics of the genre, minced meat from any type of meat is added. That is, it can be pork, beef, veal, chicken, quail, duck, turkey and so on. It is believed that due to the fact that both meat and fat are added to the minced meat, the dish will be juicier and tastier.

But meatballs are also made from regular meat. This does not mean at all that they will not be juicy. And no, it's not about the sauce. Not the sauce will make them juicy. Here you need to know the secrets of cooking, which we will talk about a little later. Making meatballs juicy inside is not as difficult as you might think.

Sauces for such a meat dish, like meat, can be completely different. It can be creamy sauce, tomato, sour cream, mushroom, sweet and sour, berry, honey mustard, yogurt-based sauce, and so on.

Today we will cook meatballs in sour cream sauce in different versions. There will be five recipes, one of which is classic, then with mushrooms, with pickles, with rice and even in a slow cooker. So we have a recipe for every taste. We can’t please unless we are a vegetarian.

General rules for the selection of products and preparation

To prepare meatballs, you need to buy good minced meat, high quality, fresh. It takes a lot of effort to find such a product.

1. When choosing minced meat, pay attention to the "puddle" under the meat. There shouldn't be a huge pool of scarlet blood, but it shouldn't be dry either. If it is dry, it is a sign that only the tendons have been ground into the minced meat, and here you can certainly not even dream of the juiciness of the meat;
2. The color of the meat must match the species. That is, if it is chicken or turkey, the meat should be pale pink. If it is beef or duck, the meat should be red, and in the case of pork, it will be bright pink. Not a single type of minced meat can be gray;
3. The smell of the meat should smell good and in no case give off spices. This is a sign that the “dead” smell has already been tried to be removed by improvised means.

In any case, the meat should look good and fresh and smell the same. If you take it in a package, then ... We advise you not to take minced meat in a package. It is better to take a product by weight, because it is very easy to re-stick the cost and shelf life on the packaging. On the weighed-out meat, you can see everything at once. Therefore, do not let yourself be fooled.

How to cook meatballs

The most difficult thing with meatballs is that they are juicy, but at the same time dense, not overdried, but also not falling apart. In this regard, IKEA meatballs are ideal. Many consider them to be the benchmark. Fragrant meat balls drizzled with thick creamy sauce. At the same time, the composition of the product is very simple: beef, pork, bread crumbs, onions, spices, sugar, and egg melange (in other words, egg powder). There is nothing unusual, which means that we can do this too.

I don’t like pork and don’t buy it for many years. Therefore, I cook meatballs in sour cream sauce exclusively from beef. If you take a piece of beef brisket for minced meat, you can get the required amount of meat and fat, so there is no need for pork. You can use a 50/50 mix of two types of meat if you wish. I only recommend that you always cook the minced meat yourself, the result largely depends on this.

Meatballs with gravy recipe

For tasty meatballs, minced meat should be like thick dough, granular will not work. Therefore, the meat is turned at least twice through the fine grate of the meat grinder. You can turn the onion together with the meat. Or crumble it very finely so that it does not stand out much, but gives juice and taste. Garlic and fresh finely chopped herbs will not be superfluous. For spices, you can take black pepper, some dried basil, and oregano.

Important information! In order for the meatballs to turn out to be exactly juicy and of the desired density, in no case should you put eggs in them. The egg white will make the meat tough. Don't worry, your meatballs will hold their shape well without them.

Now let's talk about how to cook our meatballs in sour cream sauce (gravy). When you have thoroughly mixed minced meat of the desired consistency, it's time to form balls. It's easier to do this with your hands. Shape your palm into a boat and roll the minced meat until you have a smooth, walnut-sized meatball. Finished balls must be very quickly fried on all sides over high heat to lock all the juice inside. Pour the prepared meatballs with hot sour cream sauce and simmer for about an hour. White round grain rice is an ideal side dish.

Meatballs in sour cream sauce - secrets and useful tips from the best chefs

1. If you cook meatballs in sour cream sauce with cereals, then observe moderation in the amount of components. If you use too much cereal, you will not get meatballs, but rice or buckwheat balls with a meat flavor. For 400 grams of minced meat, half a glass of dry cereal will be enough.
2. After mixing several types of minced meat and adding cereals or vegetables to it, let the mixture brew for about fifteen minutes. During this time, the components will be saturated with the aroma of each other, and the meatballs will turn out to be much tastier.
3. When you fashion the meatballs, put them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to make them stronger.
