Again some words how to improve (or not?) this dish. First thing that you can do (to be correct - not to do) - do not fry formed balls but put them into a souse-pan and pour broth or just water, close with lid and put onto slow fire for 20-25 minutes. "Hedgehogs" do not need any serving, they contain rice and meat and are good enough for dinner without any additional garnish. Just add sour cream. Second thing that you can do - cook "hedgehogs" in a steam. This is perfect dish for little children and for those who need diet food. |
