Method

  1. Prepare: rinse the rice and potatoes2, peel the onion4 and carrot3; cube the potatoes and carrot into 1 cm pieces, finely chop the onion; season the meatballs with salt and pepper to taste; heat a medium pot over medium heat.

  2. Pour 500 ml of water into the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat; add the rice and potato2 cubes and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.

  3. Drop the meatballs into the boiling water with rice and potatoes2 and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes; the meatballs will rise to the surface; check their doneness by taste and color inside.

  4. Add the sautéed onion4 and carrot3, season to taste, and bring to a boil; simmer over medium heat for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the meatballs are fully cooked.

  5. Check the seasoning, add water if needed to reach the desired broth consistency; remove from heat and let steep, covered, for 5 minutes.

  6. To serve: ladle into bowls, sprinkle with fresh dill7; serve with bread, garnish with extra greens if desired.

Tips

Why it works
Фрикадельки опускай в кипящую воду, чтобы они не сварились грубо и не лопнули — мясо должно быть горячим, когда попадает в жидкость.
Substitutions
За свино-говяжий фарш возьми только говяжий (100 г) — будет нежнее, но дольше вари. Лук замени на 30 г лука-порея, если есть.
Common mistakes
Если фрикадельки внутри белые или серые, а не светло-коричневые, значит, они сырые — вари ещё 5 минут.
Storing and reheating
Хранится 3 дня в холодильнике, разогревай на среднем огне 5 минут с закрытой крышкой, добавив 20 мл воды.
Serve with
Подавай с ржаным хлебом и маринованными огурцами, чтобы сбалансировать жирность бульона.

In short

  • In the planner this dish is cooked for two days: reheat on day two.
