Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground pork
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until well combined.
With damp hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape them into small meatballs, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
Thread about 4-5 meatballs onto each soaked skewer, leaving some space between each meatball to ensure they cook evenly.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush the meatball skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure a crisp exterior.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatball skewers warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
