Russian Meatballs

Submitted by mgimpelevich

"While not entirely sure that the recipe is Russian, I can assure you that the recipe is meatballs. Think meat, onions and ketchup."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 cup finely minced onion (or one small onion OR half of a large onion)
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 egg (shell removed)
• 1⁄3 cup minced parsley
• 1⁄2 cup rice
• lotsa black pepper
• lotsa salt
• lotsa ketchup
• sour cream

directions

1. Start boiling a largish amount of water. Less than you would use for pasta, but more than I am willing to estimate in this recipe.
2. In the mean time, throw your finely minced onion, rice, ground beef, parsley (also minced) and de-shelled egg into a very large bowl and have a fun time with your hands. Season with salt and pepper!
3. Once all the ingredients are nicely mashed together, form them into meatballs roughly the size of a toddler's fist. Place meatballs into boiling water and reduce to simmer, then cook for 20 minutes.
4. After twenty minutes of simmering squirt in a whole lot of ketchup and continue simmering for another 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and probably more salt and pepper.
