Method

1

Sauté the onions, carrots, and bell pepper, then add the tomato paste, simmer everything thoroughly, and pour in a splash of water. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2

Next, chop the potatoes and add them to the vegetable base.

3

Pre-cook the rice until half-done. Combine the rice with the ground meat, spices (dried garlic, salt, and pepper), and the egg, then mix well. Shape the mixture into small round meatballs.

4

Place the prepared meatballs directly on top of the potatoes. Cover with a lid and let it all simmer undisturbed for 20 minutes.

5

Once the potatoes are fork-tender, drizzle sour cream mixed with a little water over the top. These meatball spheres are what we call 'hedgehogs'. Finish by sprinkling with fresh herbs at the end.
