Re: Share your recipe for rice balls!

Here is my grandmas recipe
All depends on how much ya make but here is what I made today and I will get about 12 baseball sized rice balls.

3 cups of cooked rice
3 eggs
1 can of tomato sauce
parmesean cheese
salt
mozzarella cheese
fresh parsley

Cook rice, put in fridge till cooled. Add 2 eggs, a can of tomato sauce, a little bit of mozzarella cheese and a little bit of parmesean cheese, tablespoon of cut up parsley and about a half teaspoon of salt. Mix everything together well with hands. Refridgerate

Meat filling:

1 pound of ground beef
1/2 can of tomato sauce
2 stalks of celery
1 medium onion
salt
pepper
butter

Put butter in pan, let melt a bit and add finely chopped celery and onion. Let simmer for a few minutes and add ground beef. Brown beef and add salt and pepper and then 1/2 can of tomato sauce. Ok, thats done.

Now, take a handful of rice in your hand, roll it into a ball, make an indent with the back of a spoon and put some meat mixture into the hole. Take a little more rice and cover the top and roll into a ball.
Take 1 egg and beat well, roll the rice ball into the egg and then in italian bread crumbs. Fry in deep fryer or on stove with oil until golden brown. Enjoy!!
