  • Porcupine meatballs from the grill

    I been wanting to try this for a long while...Finally got around to it last weekend...

    No porcupines were harmed in the making of this dish

    For those who don't know porcupine meatballs are made with uncooked rice in the meat mix which cooks up during the simmer time and makes an interesting texture and nutty flavor...
    Of course I had to grill mine


    Just seared a bit but not done in the center...


    For the sauce I used a jar of our fire roasted tomatoes with Jalapenos...We call them Roast-tells
    Smoothed that out some with the stick blender and seasoned with some herbs and stuff...
    This simmered on the grill for close to an hour to thicken the sauce and cook the balls completely...


    And plated with smashed taters and green beans


    Turned out to be a very spicy sauce with a deep roasted tomato flavor...
    A definite do again kinda meal

    And again thanks for checkin out my food...

    Nice! I though for sure there was going to be some actual porcupine involved in this thread.

    I had some porcupine and venison snack sticks a couple days ago and they were good.

                        I think it was a pound of 93 burger and a half cup of long grain white rice...Seasoned well...

                        Thinking the (intended) pan seared meatballs maybe had more of the porcupine effect...The rice usually sticks out a bit making the porcupine effect...Not sure...But the results were excellent...Not gonna bitch a bit...Cant wait to try it again...
