👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the meatballs: In a bowl, combine ground pork, uncooked rice, grated onion, egg, chopped dill, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Form small meatballs, about 1.5-2 cm in diameter.
💡 전문가 팁: Rinsing the rice before adding can help prevent it from becoming too mushy.
2
In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil (optional) over medium heat. Add the chopped onion for the soup and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Add the diced carrots, celery, and parsnip (if using) to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes.
⏱️ 5 minutes
4
Pour in the water or broth. Stir in the tomato paste, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
💡 전문가 팁: Using broth will add more depth of flavor.
5
Carefully add the prepared meatballs to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
⏱️ 30 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Do not over-stir once meatballs are added to prevent them from breaking apart.
6
Stir in the lemon juice and fresh dill. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to achieve the desired sourness.
💡 전문가 팁: The sourness can be adjusted to personal preference. Some also use vinegar.
7
Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh dill and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
💡 전문가 팁: Sour cream is a classic accompaniment that balances the tanginess.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Ensure the rice is uncooked when forming the meatballs; it will cook and expand in the soup.
✓For a lighter soup, you can use lean ground chicken or turkey.
✓If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be used, but use less as it's more potent.
