MELINDA'S PORCUPINE MEATBALLS



Melinda's Porcupine Meatballs image

This is, by far, the best recipe for porcupine meatballs I have ever had. This is a recipe that was given to my mom when she married back in 1970. The recipe also includes cooking directions for stovetop cooking or cooking in the oven. Hope you enjoy as much as our family does.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
½ cup uncooked white rice
½ cup water
⅓ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon celery salt
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water, or more as needed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Mix the ground beef, rice, 1/2 cup water, onion, salt, celery salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Roll the mixture into 12 meatballs.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the meatballs. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until evenly browned. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Cover and simmer until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Stir in more water if the sauce becomes too dry.

GREEK PORCUPINE MEATBALLS

Not your traditional porcupine meatball in the slightest! A fresh combination of flavors, simmered in chicken broth and served with a delicious lemon sauce. One of my favorite meatball recipes.

Categories     Meat

Time 25m

Yield 16 small meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 lb meatloaf mix (or ground beef)
2 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup instant rice
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Finely chop parsley to equal 1/2 cup and mint to equal 2 tablespoons. Place in a large bowl with meat, egg whites, rice, crumbs, salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend well. Shape mixture into a 1.5 inch thick square, cut into 16 pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • In a small bowl, blend cornstarch with 3/4 cup water. Place in a large skillet over medium heat with chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add meatballs and cook, covered, for 15 minutes, turning meatballs occasionally. Remove meatballs to a serving dish and keep warm. Reduce heat to low.
  • Squeeze lemon to yield 2-3 tablespoons of juice. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks with lemon juice. Stirring constantly, add 3 tablespoons of the hot broth to the yolk mixture. Gradually add back to the skillet, stirring constantly. (NOTE - do NOT skip this step; it tempers your egg yolks so that you don't end up with scrambled eggs in your sauce!).
  • Simmer for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens; do not boil. Pour over meatballs and serve immediately.

These well-seasoned porcupine meatballs in a rich tomato sauce are one of my mom's best main dishes. I used to love this meal when I was growing up. I made it at home for our children, and now my daughters make it for their families. -Darlis Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin
