I've been craving rice and salads all week, and there was absolutely no way I wasn't going to make it. I'm having my rice with meatballs, potato salad, and creamy spinach. I also made coleslaw but forgot to add it to the plate. I've shared a recipe for meatballs before, but I'll be sharing a brand new recipe.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
In a bowl, mix ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, meat spice blend, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and paprika.
Form the mixture into small balls.
Cook the meatballs in a skillet over high heat until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
On medium heat, put a large pot with some oil. Saute the onion and garlic until translucent.
Add in dry thyme, basil, and paprika. Saute until spices are fragrant.
Now add tomato sauce/paste and curry paste. Mix and cook for five minutes on medium-low flame.
Add bay leaves and beef stock. Add in grated tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
Add meatballs into the pot and one more cup of water.
Cover and let this cook for 25-30 minutes until sauce is thickened.
After 25 minutes, taste and season with salt and pepper. Cook an additional 5 minutes.
Boil potatoes until tender, then peel and chop them.
Add the potatoes, bacon, chives, dry spices, mayo, and chopped eggs to the bowl.
Mix everything gently until well combined.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
In a pan, melt butter and add spinach.
Cook until wilted, then add cream, salt, and pepper.
Stir and cook until the mixture is creamy and heated through.
Serve the meatballs with potato salad, creamy spinach, and rice.
For extra flavor, add some grated Parmesan cheese to the creamy spinach.
You can add chopped onions or celery to the potato salad for more texture.
Can I use a different type of meat for the meatballs?
Yes, you can use ground turkey or chicken as a substitute for beef.
How can I make the potato salad healthier?
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
Can I prepare the creamy spinach in advance?
Yes, you can make it a day ahead and reheat it before serving.
What can I serve with this dish?
You can serve it with a side of coleslaw or a fresh green salad.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
