• Boil until ready in 1 liter of water, 0.5 cups of pre-washed rice. Fold the rice in a colander. Chill.
• In a deep bowl, put 1 kg of ground beef. You can use any other minced meat: beef, pork, minced poultry.
• Pour the cooled rice to the minced meat.
• Add cooled vegetables from the bowl to the bowl. Putting a hot vegetable mixture is impossible, because of the high temperature the protein of the meat will curl up, the mixture will turn out to be dry.
• For juiciness, put in a mixture of 70 grams of soft butter. In advance (in 15-20 minutes), remove the oil from the refrigerator so that it softens.
• Salt, pepper the minced meat to taste, add a pinch of seasoning Suneli hops.
• Knead the minced meat with your hands until smooth. Beat the bottom of the bowl well. Beating increases the viscosity of the meat, when baking meatballs keep their shape and do not spill. The egg is not put into the mass.
