Meatballs hedgehogs with steamed rice for children - recipe with photo:

1. For the same recipe, you can take other meat - the main thing is that it is low-fat (not pork or lamb). Veal, turkey or chicken are good choices for a baby's diet. So, first, the meat must be rinsed and blotted with a napkin so that there is no excess liquid. Then we put it on a board and cut into pieces about 3 cm in size.

2. Move the pieces of meat into a food processor or meat grinder and turn into minced meat. We put it, in turn, into a large bowl.

3. Peel the onion and rub it on the finest grater to make an onion gruel. The finest grater is a surface dotted with sharp-edged holes. It is when using such a grater that the desired substance is obtained. Add the onion gruel to the minced meat.

4. Put raw rice in the minced meat and stir with your hands until it spreads evenly throughout the minced meat. Some housewives put boiled rice (or half-cooked) in meatballs, but raw rice is required for hedgehogs. In minced meat, raw rice will look organic, and when the meatballs are cooked, this cereal will swell and create cute "thorns" of hedgehogs.

5. Break two eggs and add them to the minced meat. Again, mix everything well with your hands. Salt the mixture for meatballs. We prepare meatballs for children, so nothing will be added except salt. Well, if you want to turn this dish into an adult treat, you can add pepper or other seasonings to taste.

6. Lubricate the steamer grates vegetable oil to make it easier to separate the meatballs later. Then we form balls with a diameter of 5 cm from the minced meat and put them on the steamer grate. We have a lot of minced meat, so you can cook two or even three floors of a double boiler. At the same time, excess meatballs can be frozen for the future.

7. Cover the steamer with a lid and turn on the timer for 40 minutes. During this time, the meat will have time to cook, and the rice will release hedgehog "thorns".
