1 hour | 30 min prep
SERVES 8
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/2-1 cup nonfat milk (skim)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon clove
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground lean pork
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Combine bread crumbs and milk; let stand 10 minutes. Regarding the milk, 1 cup turned out meatballs that were very loose, but I'm not sure how much would be right. (Please give feedback so that we can finetune this recipe.).
- Add eggs, seasonings and flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer. Add beef and pork; mix just until combined.
- Make meatballs about 2 inches wide, using about 3 T. of meat mixture for each one. (A small ice cream scoop works great.).
- Melt butter over medium heat. Place meatballs in it. Flatten slightly. Cook 8-10 minutes until they're browned on both sides and no longer pink inside. You'll probably have to make in batches. Placed cooked ones on a platter and keep them warm while preparing others.
