Once again one of my boyfriend's favourites. He never gets tired of these meatballs or of my cutlets and he often requests both at the same time. Grilling is also a nice option although you might want to put more beef or more bread so that the mixture gets thicker. Ingredients:
1/2 lb pork, chopped (not too fatty) |
1/4 lb ground beef |
1 onion, finely chopped |
1/2 cup of crumbled bread (preferably at least a day old) |
1 egg |
black pepper, ground |
white pepper, ground |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme (or as much fresh as you like) |
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg |
salt |
Directions:
1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and knead well.
2. Form the mixture into balls approximately 1 in diameter and flatten them until 1/2 thick.
3. Place the balls in a baking tin spread with a bit of oil or cooking spray and roast at medium or high heat 15 min or until golden brown.
4. Turn the meatballs over and roast another 5 min until golden brown on the other side too.
5. When ready immediately remove from tin and place on kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.
6. Serve hot.
