Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground beef
- 100 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg white
- 60 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg white, and low-fat milk. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Add chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into 18-20 meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, ensuring they are tightly packed.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil to coat the surface.
Step 5
Place the meatballs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Cook the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm, paired with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or over a bed of whole grain pasta or rice for a wholesome meal.
