Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well with your hands until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the meatballs from the skillet and serve them hot with your favorite sauce or as a part of a pasta dish.
