Minced Meat and Rice Casserole

Pour a cup of rice into a saucepan, add 3 cups of water, add half a teaspoon of salt, stir, and cook covered until done for 20 minutes.

Peel and finely chop the onion, peel and coarsely grate the carrot, and finely shred the cabbage.

Sauté the onion in vegetable oil for about 5 minutes until translucent, then add the carrot, season with salt and pepper, and fry for another 5 minutes or so.

Add salt and pepper to the minced meat and mix. Add 3 to 5 tablespoons of water to the sour cream to achieve a fluid consistency.

Grease the baking dish with oil, add the rice, and spread it out evenly.

Add the cabbage, lightly salt it, and drizzle with diluted tomato paste.

Layer the minced meat evenly, top with the fried carrots and onions, and drizzle with the thinned sour cream.
