Shopping List

1.5 lbs ground beef (see tip below)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 slice white bread (edges removed)
4 tablespoons milk
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil for frying

* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Step 1. Remove the crust off the bread and rip into small pieces, then soak with the milk.

Step 2. Add all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well (I like using my hands). Allow this to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3. Shape into the size meatballs you want (remember they will shrink a bit when fried) and set aside. Then roll them in flour (juggle between your fingers to remove the excess flour). By dusting in the flour, you’ll get a lovely crust when fried.

Step 4. Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan on medium/high heat, then add the flour dusted meat balls and fry. I like making my meatballs the size of a ping pong ball (a little smaller than a golf ball), so it takes about 5-7 minutes to fully cook. Do remember to stir them so all sides gets in contact with the hot oil. Since these will be added to a tomato sauce I usually don’t fully cook them, as they can finish off in the tomato sauce.
