How do I make mince meatballs with rice in a pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Minced meat can be used from any type of meat. It can be chicken, beef, turkey or pork. I'll cook with minced pork.

Lower the rice into boiling water and salt a little. Cook the rice for 10-15 minutes until half cooked. In the cooking time, navigate according to the instructions on the package. The rice will increase in volume, but the core will be still solid. Then throw the rice in a colander so that the glass of excess water from it.

To make meatballs, combine the prepared minced meat and finely chopped onions.

Then add the cooked rice and egg. Add a little salt and spice to taste. As a spice, I take some ground pepper and paprika.

Mix all the ingredients well and beat the mass against the bottom of the bowl to make the meat mass denser. Thanks to this, meatballs will not fall apart during cooking.

Separately, finely chop the second onion and grate the carrots. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot pan and fry the onions with the carrots for 2-3 minutes.

Then pour some flour into the pan. Stir.

Add the tomato paste and pour in the water. Stir everything and bring to a boil. More water can be added.

From the resulting meat mass, blind small meatballs and put in a pan, in a boiling sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meatballs over a low heat for 30 minutes. In the process of cooking, you can turn them over 1-2 times. If the water boils heavily, then you can pour a little more hot. The more water there is, the more gravy there will be. And she is very tasty!

Meatballs are ready! Any side dish is great for them. Enjoy your meal!
