Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork until well mixed.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the meat mixture.
Pour in the milk and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Use your hands to gently combine all the ingredients until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with around 16-18 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs in the skillet in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Fry the meatballs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are well browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the meatballs warm as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or over gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
