Wonder why they’re called porcupine meatballs? It’s because they’re stuffed with rice and when they simmer in the sauce, they start to resemble porcupines with the cooked rice poking out of the meatballs like quills. Delicious served with your favourite green vegetables.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a bowl mix together beef mince, parsley, grated carrot and long grain rice. Season with salt and pepper. Roll mixture into 16 even-sized balls.
  2. Heat a dash of oil in a lidded frying pan. Add onion and celery and cook until softened. Stir in Wattie’s Tomato Paste. Pour over HEINZ [SERIOUSLY] GOOD™ Beef Casserole Simmer Sauce and water. Stir while bringing sauce to the boil. Reduce heat and add meatballs and bay leaf. Cover. Simmer for 30-35 minutes, turning meatballs halfway during cooking, until meatballs are cooked. Serve with your favourite green vegetables.
