Embrace Autumn: Meatballs in Cardamom-Infused Broth

This November, we’re delighted to share a comforting recipe: Meatballs with Rice in Cardamom Soup. Inspired by the flavours of the Middle East, this dish is ideal for showcasing the bounty of the British harvest. Prepared with premium Japonica rice from the EU, it’s a deliciously aromatic and hearty choice.

These flavourful meatballs, made with minced beef and Japonica rice, are packed with fragrant spices and fresh herbs. The cardamom-spiked soup, blended with spinach, creates a luxuriously smooth and warming base, perfect for the season.

Recipe Details: Meatballs with Rice in Cardamom Soup

Ingredients (for 30 meatballs):

  • 200g Japonica rice
  • 1kg minced beef
  • 50g fresh coriander, chopped
  • 150g red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 eggs
  • 50g olive oil
  • 30g breadcrumbs
  • 400g fresh cardamom pods, crushed
  • 1kg fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • Juice of 3 lemons
  • 200g plain flour
  • 200g green onions, chopped
  • Yogurt, for serving

Method:

  1. In a large bowl, combine minced beef, Japonica rice, red onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and shape into small meatballs.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the meatballs, and let simmer for around 25 minutes. Reserve the broth.
  3. In a separate pot, warm the olive oil and sauté the cardamom, spinach, flour, and green onions until fragrant.
  4. Gradually add the reserved broth, blend until smooth, and then add the meatballs.
  5. Serve in bowls, topped with a spoonful of yogurt.

Ideal for gatherings or quiet nights in, this dish lets you savour the spirit of autumn in every bite. Celebrate the high-quality EU rice with this heart-warming, delicious meal.
