Tefteli in a Cream Sauce

Russian Tefteli are basically amazing meatballs in a cream sauce which can be served for lunch, dinner or as an appetizer with toothpicks. Amazing.

I’ll soon have a “Lena’s Amazing Recipes” category. If you loved the Chebureki and the Creamy cauliflower soup; your mouth is probably watering for these. Russian Tefteli are basically amazing meatballs in a cream sauce which can be served for lunch, dinner or as an appetizer with toothpicks.

Lena recommends doubling the sauce recipe so it’s real gravy-like. I’ll be trying that next time. I’m a gravy kind of gal. Thank you Lena for sharing this scrumptious tefteli recipe with me. Amazing. Fabulous. Nothing short of YUMM!

Ingredients for Tefteli:

1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground chicken
2 cups cooked white rice (1 cup raw = 2 cups cooked rice)
1 large egg
2 large garlic cloves
1/2 onion, grated or finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 slices of soft white bread (mine was wheat-ish, but that’s besides the point)
3/4 cup milk
2 cups Progresso Italian Style Breadcrumbs

Ingredients for the Tefteli Sauce:

2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion chopped
1 large carrot, grated
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp sour cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup chicken broth or chicken stock
1/2 to 1 tsp paprika (more if you like a little spice in your life)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Canola oil or grape seed oil

How to Make Russian Tefteli:

1. Cook your rice and cool to room temp or so it’s just warm, not hot. Break up your bread and soak it in as separate bowl with milk.

2. Add your ground pork and chicken to a large bowl. I ground my own meat; using chicken tenders and pork loin. Add the following to the meat bowl: 2 cups cooked white rice, 2 large garlic cloves pressed, 1/2 onion finely chopped or grated, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

3. Drain the excess milk from the bread (it should still be very juicy). Add the bread to the meat mix. Mix everything well. This is where the KitchenAid stand mixer (paddle attachment) comes in handy. Your hands won’t freeze from the meat mix.

4. Pour your Progresso bread crumbs into a medium bowl. Shape your meat into 1″ balls and roll them in the bread crumbs. You might have to wash your hands a few times if the meatballs start sticking to your hands. These meatballs tend to be a bit moist. It’s best to have all your meatballs breaded before starting to saute them.

5. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil and let it heat up. Saute about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. I used two skillets to make the process go faster.

Once the meatballs are done, start making your gravy (unless you are a super-multi-tasker).

How to Make Tefteli Gravy:

1. Heat a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 chopped onion and 1 large carrot grated. Saute until carrots and onion are soft.

2. Sprinkle in 2 Tbsp flour and whisk quickly to blend.

3. Add 1 Tbsp sour cream and stir.

4. Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 to 1 tsp paprika and bring to a simmer.

5. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring everything to a light boil and pour it over the meatballs. Stir and enjoy.

          Hi Galina, I don’t think it would be a creamy sauce without the heavy cream. I haven’t tested it with milk, but it might work if you were using a thickener like flour to create a roux and thicken it up that way.

    I used venison for this recipe because My son got 3 deer this season and we need to use the meat before I have room in my freezer to purchase more 😉
    I have to say that everyone in my family, young and old alike, LOVED this recipe. My son (18 yr old who provided the venison) told me to permanently add this to my meal rotation! Thanks so much for yet one more terrific recipe!!!

    Very delicious tefteli! I would suggest using 1 cup less crumbs because I had to throw away 1 cup after coating the meatballs. Also, 1 cup of raw rice made about 4 cups of cooked rice for me, maybe you use different rice because I used Basmati rice.

    Super yummy recipe. Thank you for an awesome dinner. I read reviews of others and due to everyones rave of the sauce I made double right away. One hint about you mentioning that while rolling the tefteli you’ll need a few hand washes. I have used a trick that helps with this while making kotleti and tefteli. Take a tiny drop of oil, any kind, and rub it on your palms. I use whatever oil I’m frying with this way it doesn’t ruin the food taste in anyway. Oil keeps the meat from sticking to your hands and gets you through the whole batch without needing to wash your hands off.

    Great recipe! I was nervous about substituting bread crumbs and flour to gluten free kind (forced diet by my body, not choice..) but the recipe still turned out perfect! I think I made my Tefteli a little chubby but that means only extra goodness. Oh and made twice the sauce (next time trippling 😀)

    I made these for dinner today. Both, the meatballs and the sauce were soooo good! Tefteli were fluffy and juicy, I guess, thanks to rice. My family enjoy the meal a lot.
    I used ground lamb instead, as that’s what i had already defrosted. But regardless, it tasted wonderful.

      The texture might be different with the flour and the sauce would turn a little thicker if you’re dredging in flour. I’d still recommend the breadcrumbs for best results 🙂 (you can also process some bland crackers to make breadcrumbs)

    I knew I could count on you, Natasha. After making your recipe for Chebureki for New Years for my Russian husband (who loved them by the way), I was hoping you’d have a tefteli recipe. It pleases everybody including little picky eaters too. The only thing is, my MIL cooks them in a pot with the sauce with the lid on, to sort of steam them. Any thoughts on how I might be able to recreate this with your recipe?

      You can do it either way. My cousin said it reheats well with the sauce on it. I would double the sauce if you are planning to reheat it for the next day. The sauce will solidify somewhat in the fridge but will be nice once it’s heated up.

    Hi there… Sorry its taken so long for me to reply. I did check into the ‘MSG status’ of the Classic Gourmet Chicken Base that I use. The one I was using earlier, (Chicken Base “Select”) does have MSG, but I have good news! This same brand does sell another type (Chicken Base “Reserve”), and it states “No MSG added”, so for all of those who are interested in trying out this brand, but were worried about the MSG, it does have a chicken base without MSG. Happy Cooking!

    I love your blog, cooking is my, well among other things, my passion, I love to create. I won’t be going to Moscow for a few months, Delta changed the airplanes so I will have to depend on you for my Russian treats. These meat balls are my next effort, maybe tonight. I’m off to Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands, India, and probably some other places including Long Island. Until then I guess I’ll make some meatballs and who knows what. Thank you for my inspirations. Keep it up. Beau

    These look great! My friends mom makes these, and I”ve always wondered about them. I’ll have to try them for myself soon. Thanks for the recipe (;
    A tip about the chicken base/boullion… I find that the “Classic Gourmet” brand from Cash&Carry has a more authentic/natural flavor than the Better than Boullion. No offense to anyone 🙂 Just my personal preference. You should give it a try and see for yourself. I buy the Classic Gourmet Select Chicken Base, but there is a great selection of various different bases to choose from to suit your tastes. Enjoy!

      Hope, do you know if that one has MSG? I haven’t tried that brand. I switched to the BBB one since it has no MSG and I think it tastes better than the cubes I was using before.
