Spicy Rice Meatballs image

These are really good either straight from the pan or thawed and reheated. I don't think many meat lovers will miss the meat in these. I just ate them plain, but you could freeze them with sauce and reheat the whole recipe.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cooked long-grain rice (I used brown)
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 onion, finely chopped (be sure to chop this very finely, or your meatballs won't hold together well!)
1/4 cup dry packaged breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (I used at least 1/2 tsp)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup wheat germ (I ran out of wheat germ halfway through and used quick oats. Not the same, but it worked ok!)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients except wheat germ and vegetable oil. Again, make sure you REALLY chopped your onions very finely or they will make your "meat"balls fall apart.
  • Cover and chill mixture well, at least 1 hour, in fridge.
  • Shape mixture into meatballs and roll each in wheat germ/oats (my last resort, but they turned out fine!) to coat.
  • Heat oil in a (preferably) nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the meatballs in the oil for 8-10 minutes, turning carefully, until light golden brown.
  • Drain meatballs on paper towels.
  • Flash freeze on a pan in the freezer, then put in freezer bags. To reheat, microwave for a few minutes or put on pan and reheat in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
  • Or, gently mix meatballs with spaghetti sauce (jarred or homemade) and place in heavy duty ziplock freezer bags and freeze. To serve this way, just thaw a bit in the fridge and then reheat and serve with pasta.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid to the sauce. Other than that, they were still very flavorful.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best meatballs he's ever had. I will definitely be making this recipe again, but I will use less chili pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these meatballs were just the right amount of spicy for me. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
