How to make hedgehogs in the oven with gravy rice and carrots? Prepare the specified products. Peel the onion and carrots from the husk, rinse. Use ground pork and beef, greasy, to prevent the dish from tasting dry. Instead of tomato paste, it is permissible to use tomato juice, tomato flesh without peel, ketchup, but not bitter. Buy rice long, not steamed.

Place the minced meat in a separate deep container. Rinse the rice in a few waters, add it to the mince. If more hedgehogs are cooked, be sure to add a chicken egg to the minced rice, otherwise the sausages will disintegrate when baked! Stir the mince thoroughly with the rice, salt and pepper it.

Form small sausages with your hands and put them in a baking dish. Leave space between the vegetable and gravy-shaped sausages, lay them out at an equal distance from each other. If your minced meat is fatty, then the form does not need to be greased, and vice versa - grease the form with vegetable oil if the minced meat consists of pulp without lard.

Cut the onion into a small cube, rub the carrots over a coarse grater. Place the vegetable mass between the mince and rice sausages. Combine tomato paste, sugar and water, pour this sauce into the tin. Sugar must be added, since tomato paste tastes sour. If you wish, you can use various spices and spices to taste: dried thyme, rosemary, Provence herbs.

Place the tin in the oven at 220 C and bake for about 25-30 minutes until rosy. Remember that porcelain and glass molds are placed in a cold oven, metal and cast iron - in a heated one. Also note that the temperature and baking time are approximately, focus on the features of your technique. Remove the finished dish after baking and leave to cool a little.

Place the hedgehogs in gravy on plates, serve warm with sour cream, mayonnaise or other sauces to the table. Do not forget about fresh greens or vegetable salad in addition!
