- 5. Simmer approx. 20 min. test a meat ball by bring one out of pot and cut in 1/2 to test the rice. Rice must be ALMOST SOFT, NOT SOFT. Place back in pot.
- 6. Add carrots and potatoes. When carrots and potatoes are done so is the rice.

- 8. Note: The meat should end up being very soft, but the meatball should not be disintegrating.
