1...e6 is obviously quite solid. 
Of course, 1...Nf6 and then 2...e6 is there if you want to avoid e4 stuff.

By the way, I personally enjoy the Hedgehog.  Its very solid and not at all boring (at least not boring to me). 


Cheers.

Having played both the Sicilian and the English at some point, I often feel that 1.e4 c5 and 1.c4 e5 are totally different in nature. Objectively I suppose white is better off after 1.c4 e5 than he would be as black after 1.e4 c5, but that's really just saying that white simply has the advantage of the first move and that 1.c4 is a fully respectable first move (like many others such as 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.Nf3 etc.).

The extra tempo of white does change to a considerable extent how each side should approach this situation. After 1.e4 c5 white has the option to go for the open sicilian, while variations with d7-d5 after 1.c4 e5 tend to be much more humble.

Anyway, 1...e5 is definitely a good answer to 1.c4, it's a matter of what kind of position you want though and you should not think that the positions you get will usually "feel" like the sicilian as white (unless your opponent misplays the opening, in which case such a positive development is of course always possible).
