Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, milk, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients until well combined, but do not overwork the meat mixture.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Thread the meatballs onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each meatball for even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the meatball skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad.
