Chef's Notes
Do not overwork the meat when mixing the rice and beef, or your meatballs will turn into sad, dense little cannonballs instead of tender, spiky culinary triumphs.
Pro Tip
Make sure your long grain rice is completely uncooked before mixing it into the beef; it needs that raw state to absorb the delicious tomato juices and puff outward during the pressure cooking phase.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Using instant rice instead of long grain rice, which instantly turns your gorgeous meatballs into a terrifying, gluey paste that welds itself permanently to the bottom of your pressure cooker pot.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef for real porcupine, and he nearly took my head off with a ladle. I suppose the rice version is safer, if not quite as prickly.
The Culinary Science
As the pressure cooker reaches high temperatures, the moisture inside the uncooked rice grains turns to steam, forcing the starches to expand and pop the grains out of the meat casing, creating the iconic 'porcupine' quills.
