"Great Balls of Meat!"
Posted by Karchita on 02-10-10 at 10:43 PM

I made this for dinner tonight and it was simple to make and quite yummy. I don't know if I have ever made meatballs before and if I have, it's been decades. Talk about getting me out of my rut.
I made it with turkey since I don't eat beef, half the rice, and added generous amounts of cumin (thanks, qwerty!) and basil to the meatballs. I used chicken broth, doubled the garlic, and added maybe 1/3 cup each of diced celery and carrots. I also added a can of tomatoes and one of mushrooms. I skipped the green beans and decided it didn't need any other veggies.
After simmering, I thought the broth was a bit thin, so I added a 1/4 cup of uncooked rice and let it simmer another 15 minutes or so to cook the rice.
I don't know about using turkey. It was a bit dry, even before the extra simmering (so it's not that it was overcooked). I was glad that I added the spices to the meatballs because the broth was a little bland, although it made a good background to the spiciness of the turkeyballs. Maybe with beefballs, the broth would have more flavor.
Thank you very much, Buggy. This seems like the perfect recipe to experiment with and see if I can work the kinks out in the future. I am looking forward to seeing what the other OTCC chefs do with it.
