Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup raw rice
1 medium red onion, finely chopped (about1 cup)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup soft fresh breadcrumb
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano (preferably mexican )
1 lb lean ground beef
2 quarts beef broth
1 bay leaf
2 medium carrots , cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 red chili, seeded and thinly sliced (3-inch long)
1/3 cup madeira wine

Directions:

In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil; add the rice.
Boil 5 minutes; drain.
Place rice in a large mixing bowl.
Add in the chopped onion and cilantro, the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, garlic, and oregano; with a fork, blend thoroughly.
Add the beef and, with the fork, or your hands, blend it into the rice and bread mixture.
Shape the meat into 1-inch meatballs; there should be about 30.
