Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg to the meat mixture.
Sprinkle in the fresh parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overmix which can result in tough meatballs.
Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Continue shaping until all the mixture is used.
Thread 3-4 meatballs onto each pre-soaked wooden skewer, making sure to leave a little room between each one for even cooking.
Brush the meatballs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the skewers on the grill.
Grill the meatball skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on the outside and fully cooked inside.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled meatball skewers with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
