How to cook meat hedgehogs with steamed rice in a slow cooker
For the "prickly" back of hedgehogs, we need 100 grams of long-grain rice.
Boil the rice in salted water for 5 minutes, no longer.
We throw the rice on a sieve and let it dry thoroughly.
In the meantime, you need to cook the meat. To make minced meat, take 450 grams of lean pork, 1 large onion (100 grams) and a piece of dried loaf (30 grams).
Pour the bun with 100 grams of milk and leave to soak.
We cut the meat into pieces and pass through a meat grinder. We do the same with onions and white bread. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of spices “For minced meat” and 1 chicken egg to the minced meat. The photo shows exactly 1 egg, it just so happened that it turned out to be with two yolks.
Thoroughly knead the minced meat. If necessary, you can add a little semolina or breadcrumbs if the minced meat seems watery to you.
Pour water into the multicooker pan and turn on the “Steam” mode for 40 minutes. It should be borne in mind that in some models of the multicooker, the countdown starts immediately. In my slow cooker, POLARIS PMC 0512AD, the minutes start counting down only after the water boils in the bowl. We must cook "hedgehogs" for 40 minutes, starting from the moment of boiling.
While the water is heating, let's take care of "prickly" friends.
We form the “body” of a hedgehog from minced meat and roll it in rice so that only the future “muzzle” remains without rice. Immediately put the workpiece in a container for steaming. I make hedgehogs in such a size that 3 pieces fit into a standard bowl.
From black peppercorns we make eyes and a nose.
As soon as the countdown begins, place the bowl with hedgehogs in the slow cooker. Opening the lid after the signal, you can see these beauties.
When serving, lettuce leaves are laid out on a plate and steamed delicious minced hedgehogs with rice are placed on top of them. Remove them from the multicooker container very carefully, using a spoon so as not to damage the “prickly” skin.
The products stated in the recipe are enough to prepare 6 servings. I have 2 slow cookers, so there is no problem to prepare an unusual dinner for 6 people. To increase the number of servings, you can also use a larger steamer.
