Perfect Meatballs Recipe
Prep & Cooking time: 30mins
Serves 2
Ingredients
225g/8oz Minced Meat such as Beef, Lamb or Pork
� a large Onion, grated or very finely chopped
2-3 tbsp Freshly Chopped Parsley (or a mixture) or 1-2 teasp Dried
1 Garlic Clove, finely crushed
1 tbsp Tomato Paste or pur�e
1 teasp Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and Black Pepper
Flour for coating
Vegetable oil for shallow frying
Instructions
1. Place all the ingredients apart from the flour and oil in a large mixing bowl
and mix briefly with a knife.
2. Continue to mix well with your hands, squidging the mixture between your
fingers, then form into balls about the size of a large walnut, making
sure you squeeze the mixture firmly to compact each meatball. You should get 12
meatballs.
3. Once all the balls have been made, place the flour on a large plate and roll
each meatball in the flour to give a light coating on all sides, shaking any
excess flour off.
4. Heat the oil in a very large frying pan until hot over a high heat - you only
need enough oil to give a depth of about about 6mm/�-inch - then add the
meatballs, well spaced apart, and brown well on all sides for 4-5 minutes,
turning them very gently. Do not attempt to turn the meatballs for at least 1
minute to make sure they are well sealed on the under-side.
5. Once the meatballs are well browned on all sides, reduce the heat to medium
and continue to fry for a further 5-10 minutes, turning from time to time.
Alternatively, add the meatballs to your favourite sauce and continue to cook
for a further 10 minutes, spooning the sauce over the meatballs from time to
time.
Excellent served with pasta, rice or creamy mashed potato.
