Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef, lean
- 100 grams Quinoa, cooked
- 1 unit Eggs, large
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked quinoa, egg, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined. It is easiest to use your hands for this step, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each beef ball onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Brush the tops of the beef balls with olive oil to help them brown while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the beef balls are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef balls as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or add them to pasta or salads for a hearty meal.
