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

Well, let's talk a little bit on this topic. What kind of meat can be used? According to the classics of the genre, minced meat from any kind 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 stuffing, the dish will be juicier and tastier.

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

Sauces for such a meat dish as well as meat can be completely different. It can be cream 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. It will be five recipes, one of which is classic, then with mushrooms, with pickles, rice and even in a slow cooker. So we have a recipe for every taste. Unless we can only vegetarian.

General rules for food selection and preparation

To cook meatballs, you need to buy good stuffing, high quality, fresh. To find such a product, you need to make a lot of effort.

1. When choosing minced meat, pay attention to the "puddle" under the meat. There should not be a huge pool of scarlet blood, but it should not be dry either. If it’s dry, it’s a sign that only the tendons were ground into minced meat, and here you certainly can’t even dream of juiciness of meat;
2. The color of the meat should match the look. 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. No kind of stuffing can be gray;
3. The meat should smell good by smell and in no case should it be given with spices. This is a sign that the "deceased" smell has already been tried to be removed with improvised means.

In any case, the meat should look good and fresh and smell the same. If you take in the package, then ... We advise you not to take the stuffing in the package. Better take a weighted product, because the packaging is very easy to paste the cost and shelf life. On weighted meat, everything is immediately visible. Therefore, do not let yourself be deceived.

Step 1: prepare the pic.

First, we cover the countertop with a kitchen towel, put rice on it and sort it out, remove any kind of rubbish. Then pour the grains into a colander, thoroughly rinse them under trickles of cold running water and throw them into a small nonstick, 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 a homogeneous consistency.

Cook rice under a covered lid until fully cooked, if it long grain - 20 minutes, but other varieties from 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3: prepare the bread.

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

Step 4: prepare the onions.

After that, using a new sharp kitchen knife, peel the onion, rinse it, dry it with paper towels, put it on a cutting board and chop it into small cubes from 5 to 7 millimeters in size.

Step 5: fry the onions.

Then put on a medium heat a deep frying pan and pour into it a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. After a few minutes, dip the chopped onion into the preheated 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, transfer it to a small bowl and cool to room temperature near the ajar window.

Step 6: prepare boiled rice.

When the rice is ready, its grains will become soft, but retain their integrity, we discard them in a colander and leave them in the sink on 2-3 minutesto glass excess fluid.

Step 7: prepare the meat for meatballs.

Next, we transfer the boiled cereal into a deep bowl. There we add fresh minced pork, as well as beef, fried onions, uncooked raw chicken eggs and white bread pre-squeezed from excess milk. Season to taste with salt, black pepper and a mixture of spices for meat. We mix these ingredients with clean hands to a homogeneous consistency and proceed to the next step.

Step 8: form the meatballs.

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

Step 9: fry the meatballs.

Now we put the same pan on a medium heat and pour 60 milliliters of vegetable oil into it, which is about 3–3.5 tablespoons, although more can be, 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 from all sides to a light golden crust, periodically turning from side to side using a table fork. Then, using a wooden kitchen spatula, transfer the browned meat balls to a clean dish, send the next portion to the pan and cook them as well until it is all over.

Step 10: prepare the sour cream sauce.

After the meatballs are fried, we wash the pan, dry it with paper towels and again put it on medium heat. Put a piece of butter there.

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

We pass it to a light yellowish-beige hue, constantly loosening with a whisk. Then we pour a glass of purified water into the pan, put sour cream, salt to taste, ground black pepper and cook the sauce on low heat until thickened, preventing it from boiling.

Step 11: bring the dish to full readiness.

When the sour cream and butter mass begins to resemble a semi-thick dough, like pancakes, we transfer the fried meatballs into it. Gently mix them with the sauce, cover with a lid and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Next, turn off the stove and allow the fragrant dish to brew more 10 minutesand after that we’re going to taste it!

Step 12: serve meatballs in sour cream sauce.

Meatballs in sour cream sauce after cooking insist a little. Then they are laid out in portions on plates and served hot as a second main course for lunch or dinner.

As a complement to these delicious rice and meat balls, you can offer some light side dishes, for example, boiled rice, mashed potatoes, jacket potatoes, cereals from your favorite cereals, pasta, salads from fresh vegetables, pickles or marinades, although a piece of fresh bread also a great option. Enjoy it!
