Porcupine Meatballs in Tomato Sauce 🦔🍝🍅 (Page 2 ) | January 26, 2025

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, rice, chopped onion, egg, milk/water, breadcrumbs (if using), garlic (if using), oregano/Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed. 🍚🥩🧅🥚
2. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small to medium-sized meatballs. 🍡
3. Make the Sauce: In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. 🧄🧅🍳
4. Add Tomatoes and Seasonings: Pour in crushed tomatoes/tomato puree, tomato sauce, and broth/water. Add oregano/Italian seasoning, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer. 🍅🍲🌿
5. Cook the Meatballs: Gently add the meatballs to the simmering sauce. Cover the skillet or pot and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the meatballs are cooked through. The rice will expand during cooking, giving the meatballs their “porcupine” appearance. 🦔🍚🍝
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. 🌿🔥
