- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, milk, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients until well combined, but do not overwork the meat mixture.
Step 4
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Thread the meatballs onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each meatball for even cooking.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Brush the meatball skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the skewers warm as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad.
