Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 40 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 15 grams Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them sit for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined, but do not overwork the mixture to avoid tough meatballs.
Step 5
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Working in batches, sear the meatballs in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the seared meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are cooked through and internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).
Step 10
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy with your favorite sauce or as a standalone dish.
