Preparation

How to prepare Meatballs

To prepare the meatballs, in a bowl combine the ground beef and pork 1, the egg 2, blended fresh bread crumbs, and chopped parsley 3.

Season with salt and pepper 4 and thoroughly mix all the ingredients, kneading vigorously 5 to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes covered in the fridge. After resting, take the mixture out of the fridge, and with damp hands, take 25 g of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a round shape. The first meatball is ready 6.

As you shape them, place them on a tray 7. Heat about an inch of oil in a non-stick pan 8. The amount of oil should reach halfway up the meatball. When the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs 9.

Brown the meatballs well on all sides, which will take about 6-7 minutes 10. At this point, cover with a lid 11 and cook for another 3 minutes, so they cook through to the center. The meatballs are now ready 12.

How to store

You can store the meatballs in the refrigerator for a couple of days, either in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap. If you have used only fresh ingredients, you can also freeze them in the same way, after ensuring they have cooled down completely.

You can keep the uncooked meatball mixture in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. You can also freeze the formed but uncooked meatballs.
