- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 250 grams ground beef, (8 oz)
- 250 grams ground pork, (8 oz)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Preheat your oven to 220 C (425 F) and line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack about the foil.
In a mixing bowl, add the milk and panko, let this soak for 5 minutes.
Add all of the rest of the ingredients and use your hands and mix everything together.
Divide and roll the meat mixture into 20 meatballs, I will determine a weight for each when I make this if you prefer to weigh them out for uniformity.
Place the meatballs on the prepared the baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until browned and cooked through, sacrifice a meatball to determine doneness.
Serve as an appetizer or as a main with say a pasta salad as a side. Enjoy.
Low cost.
