Cook the Meatballs
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.

Rinse the Rice

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
