A couple of weeks ago I had posted a Red Rice recipe and Shari Sunday had mentioned Porcupine Balls. I haven't made these in a hundred years and have no idea why, they really are so good. Shari I hope these remind you of your mother-in-law's recipe.
Porcupine Balls
approx. 18 balls
print recipe
1 tablespoon grits
1/4 cup of tomato juice
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 pound ground beef (raw)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon paprika
dash of pepper
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Soak grits in 1/4 cup tomato juice for 15 minutes.
Combine cooked rice with beef, egg, onion,salt, marjoram, paprika, pepper and grits-tomato mixture. Mix lightly.

porcupine meatballs! That brings back memories of my mother-in-law. She used uncooked white rice and made them in a pressure cooker with a thin tomato sauce. Your version sounds good, too. I love your recipes.
