Notes from a Chef
Hedgehogs in the oven in sour cream or tomato sauce are considered a very popular and affordable dish. You can diversify your diet and pamper your household with delicious meat balls cooked in the most delicate sour cream, cheese, tomato or other sauce. The taste of the dish is directly affected by the sauce and meat you choose. This is why experienced chefs recommend using fillet meat for cooking hedgehogs, rather than store-bought minced meat.
A few simple tips will help you turn ordinary meatballs into a real royal dish:
- Prepare your own minced meat by mixing different types of meat fillets.
- Chicken, pork and beef fillet tastes great. This makes the meatballs more tender and juicy.
- The meatballs cook in the oven for about 30-40 minutes and turn out incredibly tasty and aromatic.
- It is best to use raw or steamed rice. Please note that during heat treatment it will increase in volume by approximately 1.5-2 times.
- The classic and essential ingredients are chicken eggs, garlic cloves and onions.
- Add some softened bread to add stickiness to the minced meat. For these purposes, it is better to choose stale bread.
- You can bread the meatballs in breadcrumbs or flour.
- Professional chefs recommend initially putting the meatballs in the oven for 5-7 minutes without gravy, and only then adding the prepared sauce.
- The gravy must completely cover the raw meatballs so that the meat cooks evenly.
- To preserve the juiciness and beneficial properties of the dish, the baking sheet with hedgehogs can be covered with foil.
- Add chopped herbs to the finished dish to taste.
- Meatballs go well with any vegetable side dish, and also play the role of an independent and complete dish.
