PRESSURE COOKER MEATBALLS



Pressure Cooker Meatballs image

For all you pressure cooker addicts like me, here is a great recipe for weeknight dinners...the leftovers are great re-heated. Of course you can serve without the noodles for a smorgasbord or pot-luck. Adapted from "125 Best Pressure Cooker Recipes" by Cinda Chavich (my favorite pressure cooker cookbook). She uses dill in her meatballs, I don't like dill, so I make mine with thyme and oregano. You can easily customize the type and amount of spices. I actually add a liberal dose of Hungarian Paprika to the sauce. Definitely mince the onion, a bigger chop does not mix well, as the meatballs are small. The sauce is more thin than thick, so sometimes I add a little "Wondra". Enjoy!

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, meatballs, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 large egg
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup bread crumbs
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons milk or water
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
1 medium green pepper, seeded andcoarsely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine or dry vermouth
1/2 cup water
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes in purée (or substitute a 28-ouncecan of plum tomatoes, including liquid, combined with a 6-ounce can oftomato paste)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup pitted, chopped kalamata olives
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 to 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, blend the first 9 ingredients for the meatballs. Moisten your palms with water, and shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
  • In a 4-quart or larger pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onions and green pepper, and cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the wine, scraping up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the cooker. Boil until the wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in the water, and add the meatballs in one or two layers. Pour the tomatoes over the meatballs. (Do not stir.) Sprinkle on the garlic powder.
  • Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape.
  • Split a meatball in half to check for doneness. If necessary, cover the cooker, and simmer until done.
  • Gently stir in the olives, feta, parsley, crushed red pepper, oregano, cinnamon and a tablespoon of olive oil, if needed, to give the sauce a rich finish. Simmer a few minutes. Season to taste with sugar, salt and pepper (go easy on the salt, as the olives and feta have plenty). Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with feta.

With the electronic pressure cooker, it is ready in minutes and is great for a day I don't have a lot of time. It makes some great leftover makeovers, too! -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 17

MEATBALLS:
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated, 1/2 cup
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 large egg, beaten
1 pound meatloaf mix, ground beef and pork combo

6 garlic cloves, minced
2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
Sugar
1/4 cup fresh basil (as a garnish)

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat oil in pressure cooker pot over medium high heat (I use the browning cycle on my electric pressure cooker) until shimmering. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, red pepper flakes and two-thirds of garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in crushed tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes no longer taste raw, about 10 minutes. Season with sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile: Mash panko and milk into paste in medium bowl with a fork. Gently mix in meatloaf mix, Parmesan, parsley, egg, remaining garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with hands until thoroughly combined. Shape mixture into 12 even-size meatballs. Gently nestle meatballs into sauce. Lock pressure-cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat. As soon as the pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure. NOTE: I just set my electric pressure cooker to medium pressure and everything turned out great. Remove pot from heat. Quick release pressure, then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. Before serving, stir in basil and season with additional sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef with a fat content of 80/20 or 85/15. This will ensure juicy and flavorful meatballs.
  • Season the meatballs generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good blend of herbs and spices will elevate the taste of the meatballs.
  • Use bread crumbs for binding: Bread crumbs help bind the meatballs together and prevent them from falling apart. You can use fresh or dry bread crumbs, or even crushed crackers.
  • Add moisture to the meatball mixture: This can be done by adding an egg, milk, or even grated vegetables like onion or zucchini.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for meatballs that are about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
  • Brown the meatballs before pressure cooking: This step is optional but recommended. Browning the meatballs adds flavor and color to the meatballs.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will infuse the meatballs with flavor. You can use a variety of liquids, such as tomato sauce, broth, or even water with herbs and spices.
  • Cook the meatballs on high pressure for the recommended time: Overcooking will make the meatballs tough. Refer to the recipe for the specific cooking time.
  • Let the pressure cooker release pressure naturally: This will help prevent the meatballs from becoming dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker meatballs are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy this classic dish. With the help of a pressure cooker, you can have perfectly cooked meatballs in a fraction of the time it would take to cook them in a traditional oven or stovetop. Whether you're making them for a weeknight dinner, a special occasion, or a party, pressure cooker meatballs are sure to be a hit.
