Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 30 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 milliliters Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef and ground pork. Mix them gently with your hands until well combined.
Add in the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands until the mixture is uniform in texture.
Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll it between your palms to form a round meatball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make about 24 meatballs.
Place a skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil, allowing it to heat up until shimmering.
Carefully add the meatballs in batches to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, turning carefully until they are browned and cooked through.
Once the meatballs are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining meatballs, adding more oil if necessary.
Serve the fried meatballs hot, perhaps accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or over pasta.
