- 1 egg large
- 2 garlic large cloves
- 1/2 onion grated or finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 lices white bread mine was wheat-ish, but that's besides the point, soft
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 cups Italian bread crumbs

- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 carrot grated, large
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp sour cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 to 1 tsp paprika
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- canola oil or grape seed oil
Instructions
- Cook your rice and cool to room temp or so it's just warm, not hot.
- Break up your bread and soak it in as separate bowl with milk.
- Add your ground pork and chicken to a large bowl.
- Add the following to the meat bowl: 2 cups cooked white rice, 2 large garlic cloves pressed, 1/2 onion finely chopped or grated, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Drain the excess milk from the bread (it should still be very juicy). Add the bread to the meat mix. Mix everything well.
- Pour your Progresso bread crumbs into a medium bowl.
- Shape your meat into 1" balls and roll them in the bread crumbs. It's best to have all your meatballs breaded before starting to saute them.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil and let it heat up. Saute about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Once the meatballs are done, start making your gravy.
How to Make Tefteli Gravy:
- Heat a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 chopped onion and 1 large carrot grated. Saute until carrots and onion are soft.
- Sprinkle in 2 Tbsp flour and whisk quickly to blend. Add 1 Tbsp sour cream and stir.
- Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 to 1 tsp paprika and bring to a simmer.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring everything to a light boil and pour it over the meatballs. Stir and enjoy.
