How to Make Italian Meatballs?

Ingredients

– 500 grams ground beef (you can also use a combination of ground beef and ground pork)

– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– 1/4 cup milk

– 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 small onion, finely chopped

– 1 egg

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano

– 1 teaspoon dried basil

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

– Olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, garlic, onion, egg, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
2. Once the mixture is well mixed, shape it into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter. You can wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Place the meatballs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them in batches if needed.
5. Cook the meatballs for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. You can gently shake the pan to roll the meatballs around for even browning.
6. Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Serve the meatballs hot with your favorite sauce, such as marinara or tomato sauce, or add them to pasta, sandwiches, or enjoy them on their own.
