Serves 8-10

This dish comes from a cookbook that is about 200 years old. I cannot quite figure out the background of the name but we have seen the dish many times since those early days. It is obviously a way of stretching meat using rice. I have added some seasoning and the dish is baked, so it is easy to prepare.

Mix all together and form into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes at 375°, or until they are done to your taste.

If you make these small enough, they are terrific as party snacks. Larger sizes fit the dinner table well, along with a green salad, rolls, and perhaps some Cabbage and Salt Pork (see recipe).
