Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork until well mixed.
Step 2
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the meat mixture.
Step 3
Pour in the milk and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Use your hands to gently combine all the ingredients until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with around 16-18 meatballs.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs in the skillet in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 7
Fry the meatballs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are well browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs warm as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or over gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
