Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg to the meat mixture.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the fresh parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Step 4
Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overmix which can result in tough meatballs.
Step 5
Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Continue shaping until all the mixture is used.
Step 6
Thread 3-4 meatballs onto each pre-soaked wooden skewer, making sure to leave a little room between each one for even cooking.
Step 7
Brush the meatballs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the skewers on the grill.
Step 9
Grill the meatball skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on the outside and fully cooked inside.
Step 10
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the grilled meatball skewers with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
