Meatballs

Sausages

Method

Meatballs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure they are cooked through by checking the internal temperature (should reach 75°C/165°F).

Sausages

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, pork fat, minced garlic, fennel seeds, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Use your hands to knead the mixture until well combined.

  2. 5

    Shape the Sausages

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into sausage links. You can also use sausage casings if desired.

  3. 6

    Cook the Sausages

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 70°C/160°F.
