Mediterranean Meatballs and Rice

• Preparation Time: 25 minutes
• Cooking Time: 40 minutes
•  
• Total Time: 1 hours, 5 minutes
•  
• Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef (5% fat)
• 1/2 pound ground turkey breast (99% fat-free)
• 4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, divided
• 3 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
• 2 teaspoons paprika, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large red onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1/2 5.5-ounce (156g) tomato paste
• 1 3/4 cup water, divided
• 1/2 cup white rice
• hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine both meats, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the paprika, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, the garlic powder, onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Mix well and shape into 24 one-inch balls; set aside.
2. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato, tomato paste, 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons parsley, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil.
3. Add the meatballs. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the meatballs are cooked and the sauce has thickened, about 40 minutes.
4. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the rice. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot; add the rice and salt to taste. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until done, about 30 minutes.
5. To serve, place 1/2 cup rice onto each plate and top with 6 meatballs, dividing the sauce evenly. Spice up with hot sauce, if desired.
