Beef Meatballs
One, two, three...never enough
Ingredients
- 450 gr minced beef not too lean meat
- 1 egg
- 1 glass whole milk
- 2 slices soft bread (just the crumb) softened in milk
- 40 gr Parmigiano cheese grated
- 2 tbsp Parsley finely cut
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg grated
- salt, black pepper
- breadcrumb
- peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl pour the meat, Parmesan cheese, softened bread, egg, parsley and garlic, nutmeg to your taste, salt and pepper. Start mixing with a fork and then with your hands to blend the ingredients well. Make this a quick operation so you don't heat the meat with your hands. The consistency should be soft and not too compact, if needed add a few tablespoons of milk.
- Create patties of the size you prefer, as equal to each other as possible, for even cooking.
- Heat plenty of peanut oil in a large frying pan and fry the meatballs in it a few at a time, turning them so they brown evenly. As they are ready, lay the fried meatballs on absorbent kitchen paper. Serve immediately or room temperature, meatballs are still wonderful.
