pan-fried meatballs

2016-04-15 a.o.

Pan-fried meatballs have more flavor than boiled ones.

This is the simplest meatball recipe, with the fewest ingredients. Other meatball recipes do have different ingredients. It doesn't matter too much what you put in those meatballs, as long as you like it. What really differentiates meatball recipes are the sauces that you serve them with.

Eggs help to keep the meat bound together. Without eggs, ground meat tends to fall apart when cooked.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

1 lb. mixed ground meat (50-50)
3 slices bread
½ cup onions, finely chopped
1 egg
S&P
your favorite spices

Pic1: pan-fried meatballs, refried lettuce

Directions

Pic2: prepare your meat mix
Pic3: roll the meatballs
Pic4: pan-fry

Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. (Pic2)
Be fairly generous with the spices.
Make 4 large meatballs.
Sear on both sides over high heat to get a nice brown crust. (Pic3)
Don’t push the meatballs too flat, unless you want them to look like hamburgers.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer over low heat 20-30 minutes depending on thickness.
Don’t overcook. You'll want the meatballs to be fully cooked, but still juicy inside.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy.
Serving suggestion:
- Serve with refried boiled lettuce. (Pic1)
