Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 60 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely grated
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated onion, chopped parsley, parmesan cheese (if using), salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.
Step 3
Using damp hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with approximately 16–18 meatballs.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Place the meatballs in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. You may need to work in batches.
Step 6
Cook the meatballs for 2–3 minutes on each side until they are browned all over.
Step 7
Lower the heat slightly and continue cooking for an additional 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F / 70°C).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs with your favorite gluten-free pasta, in marinara sauce, or as a stand-alone dish alongside a salad.
