Method

Meatballs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, chopped cilantro, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the shaped meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill Before Cooking

    Place the baking sheet with the meatballs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up before cooking.
