Serves 4 – 45 mins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe can be used to make meatballs and\/or burgers – I have \ndoubled the amounts as find that I can make half into meatballs and the \nother half into burger patties which can then be frozen whilst raw and \ndefrosted as and when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it easy and take them out on a defrost on a day where you know we are running around and will not have the time to make a meal when you get back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

500gms beef mince
500gms pork\/veal mince
1 large onion or 2 small very finely chopped or blended in food processor\/blender(I blend the onions and parsley at the same time to save myself time)
handful of breadcrumbs(panko crumbs from supermarket are fine)
handful of grated Parmesan cheese
half a handful of chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 egg
salt and pepper
Olive Oil <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Place mince in large bowl.Add onion, egg, parsley and Parmesan \ncheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine. If mixture is too \nwet add more breadcrumbs, if too dry add a bit more of egg beaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Roll mixture into balls around the size of a walnut using damp hands if making meatballs or shape into burger patties if making burgers . Place on a plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Put Plate into fridge and allow to sit for as long as you can, even 30 minutes will help them to hold when frying, or if you want and are very organised overnight if covered in clingfilm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once you are ready to fry your meatballs or burgers put Olive Oil into a large shallow frying pan and heat. Once oil is hot add meat mixture and shallow fry until brown on each side – do not crowd the pan or they will not brown and ensure to turn meatballs frequently to stop burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Five<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If making burgers you are done. Add to roll and serve with your accompaniments. If you are making meatballs I would advise that you use the Tomato Sauce recipe(see website) and once browned pop the meatballs in the sauce for about 30 minutes and serve with pasta of your choice(mine is egg tagliatelle) topped with Basil and Parmesan Cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
