SpicenEasy's Classic Italian Meatballs

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

• Serves: 4-6 (makes about 20 meatballs)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup SpicenEasy Fine Breadcrumbs

• 500g beef and pork mince (or all beef)

• 1 small onion, very finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 large egg

• ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tbsp milk

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

• For Serving: Your favourite marinara sauce and pasta or crusty bread

Instructions:

1. Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the SpicenEasy Fine Breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.

2. Combine Ingredients: Add the mince, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, Parmesan, oregano, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Using your hands, mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. Form Meatballs: With damp hands, roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs (about 2-3cm diameter).

4. Cook: Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).

5. Serve: Serve immediately with your favourite pasta and marinara sauce, or simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavour.

Chef's Tip: *The key to tender meatballs is not overmixing the meat - mix until just combined. Soaking the breadcrumbs in milk (a panade) is the secret to keeping them incredibly moist and tender. For baked meatballs, arrange on a lined baking tray and bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes. Always cook a small tester meatball first to check seasoning!*
