Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Émincer l'oignon

    Pele l'oignon et coupe-le en petits dés. Réserve-les dans un bol.

  2. Cuire le riz

    Rince le riz à l'eau froide. Porte 30 cl d'eau à ébullition dans la casserole, ajoute le riz et une pincée de sel. Laisse cuire à feu moyen 20 min sans couvrir, puis égoutte.

  3. Faire revenir l'oignon

    Dans la poêle antiadhésive, chauffe l'huile à feu moyen. Ajoute les dés d'oignon et fais-les revenir 3 min jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient translucides.

    Tip · Si l'oignon commence à coller, baisse un peu le feu et ajoute 1 c. à soupe d'eau.
  4. Ajouter la tomate

    Verse les tomates concassées dans la poêle avec l'oignon. Laisse mijoter à feu doux 5 min en remuant de temps en temps.

  5. Former les boulettes

    Dans un bol, mélange le bœuf haché avec une pincée de sel et de poivre. Forme 8 boulettes avec les mains.

    Tip · Mouille-toi les mains pour éviter que la viande ne colle aux doigts.
  6. Cuire les boulettes

    Ajoute les boulettes dans la poêle avec la sauce tomate. Fais-les dorer 8 min à feu moyen en les retournant régulièrement.

  7. Servir chaud

    Répartis le riz dans deux assiettes, nappe avec la sauce tomate et les boulettes.
