Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 60 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely grated
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated onion, chopped parsley, parmesan cheese (if using), salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.
Using damp hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with approximately 16–18 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the meatballs in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. You may need to work in batches.
Cook the meatballs for 2–3 minutes on each side until they are browned all over.
Lower the heat slightly and continue cooking for an additional 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F / 70°C).
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite gluten-free pasta, in marinara sauce, or as a stand-alone dish alongside a salad.
