  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • ½ lb shredded lettuce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-2 cups bread crumbs

  1. Boil rice for 5 minutes (no need to be fully cooked).
  2. Mix meat, onion, garlic, eggs and shredded lettuce.
  3. Mix in rice once it is partially cooked.
  4. Form meat mixture into small loaves (no larger than a fist).
  5. Coat loaves with bread crumbs and place in a baking dish.
  6. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes (dries out and hardens the loaves).

  8. Bake for another 30 minutes at 375°

We learned this recipe in connection with yellow veggie cream sauce but they can totally be made with another sauce of choice. They are too dry to be made with no sauce.

Yellow Veggie Cream Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1-2 carrots shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb sour cream
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Saute diced onion, garlic and shredded carrots in oil for 5 minutes until tender.
  2. Whisk sour cream together with a quart of water.
  3. Pour sour cream mixture into sauteed vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes.

This sauce turns a bright yellow from the carrots as it simmers. We’ve used it to cover and marinate mini meat loaves by placing veggies on top of the loaves and pouring the rest of the sauce over the top.
