Porcupines

Porcupines
Print Recipe
Family favorite from Ginnie Goheen. Kids loved the concept of a porcupine with the rice sticking out from all sides of the meatball. Often served with either noodles or boiled potatoes. The quantities in the recipe were never really written down or specific. A part of it was just cooking sense and when the mixture felt right. The quantities shown are a guess.
