Prepare all the ingredients for meatballs. Our process of cooking includes two parts. The first one is the work with meat and the second one is sauce. So, you should have minced beef (if you have an opportunity to mince it at home just buy a soft part without bones), flour (I used wholegrain flour, you can use any you like), one carrot, one little onion, bay leaf, black pepper, tomato paste, sugar, rice (any kind) and salt. Also you need some saucepan where you will stew meatballs. Also don't forget about seasoning for meat. The best is to use special mix of seasoning for the beef. Also put flour to the plate because it is very comfortable to roll meatballs. |

Start cooking with the part one - meatballs. Boil rice. Use two glasses of water for one glass of rice. Sometimes rice can be slightly burnt but here it is a good advice how to avoid it: in advance turn off gas and put the lid on. Rice will be done and it won't burn. When it is done, wash rice in the cold water. Rice will be crumbly. |
