Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix Thoroughly

    Using your hands, mix all the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.

  3. 3

    Shape Meatballs

    Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, and form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  4. 4

    Set Aside

    Place the shaped meatballs on a plate, cover, and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
