Porcupines

This is a family favourite from way back...comfort food for a cold night!

1/2 green capsicum, chopped finely
1 egg, beaten lightly

Combine minced beef, breadcrumbs, salt, paprika and green capsicum with beaten egg. Roll lightly into balls. Press into flat cakes, then roll in rice.
Heat soup and water in a heavy-based saucepan. Add meat cakes, cover and simmer gently for 30-45 minutes. Serve with peas, if desired.

Cooking time: 45minutes
