Method

1

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

2

Next, slice the potatoes and add them directly into the veggie base.

3

Pre-boil the rice until it's half-cooked. Combine the rice with the ground meat, spices (dried garlic, salt, and pepper), crack in the egg, and mix thoroughly.

4

Shape the meat mixture into small round meatballs. Next, place our shaped meatballs right on top of the potatoes.

5

Cover with a lid and let everything simmer gently for 20 minutes without lifting the lid.

6

Once the potatoes are tender, pour over a mixture of sour cream diluted with water. These stuffed meatballs are what give us our 'hedgehogs'. Finally, garnish with fresh herbs.
