Ingredients

  • 500 g lean minced beef
  • 500 g lean minced pork
  • 80 g breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Use your hands to combine the ingredients to a solid dough.

  3. 3

    Using your hands and a spoon, shape and roll the meatballs. Try to make them approximately the same size.

  4. 4

    Add some cooking spray or olive oil to a frying pan on medium heat, then cook the meatballs in batches. I usually cook them in 3-4 batches depending on their size. Make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. Each batch cooks in about 10 minutes. Turn the meatballs occasionally to brown them all over without burning any edges.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked meatballs to a plate. Serve them immediately, or allow them to cool down before storing them in a fridge or freezer for later.
