Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix everything together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    With your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the meatballs from the skillet and serve them warm. They can be served with tomato sauce, in a sandwich, or on their own.
