LOL! The rice sticking out of the meatballs makes them look (not very
much) like porcupines.

You can also use this mixture as filling for stuffed bell peppers.
Most people use green. I prefer red. Just cut out the top and pull
out the seeds and membraines. Put the filling in and bake them. I'm
not sure how long they should be baked, but definitely until the meat
has cooked through.

I've stuffed and cooked capsicum (bell peppers) similarly, though cooked in
sugo or crushed tomato (fresh or canned)

first course is pasta with the sauce, then the stuffed capsicums with salad

yummo

The manual with my pressure cooker tells you how to make these in the
PC super fast. Lorna Sass likes it so much she adapted it in one of HER
PC cookbooks.

I think you may be thinking of hedgehogs, about the size of a large
man's fist with short pointy spikes. They are very cute and little.

Porcupines are the size of a beagle, with long hollow quills that lay
back on them like a man's hair greased and combed back.

The Native Americans used to use their quills for embroidering their
clothes and goods, and would dye them beautiful colors.

I've been wrong before, but when you say little, the hedgehog comes to
mind.
