Made 🤤 Piet's Balls today:
1kg of minced meat (I use minced acém meat in Portugal, I think minced chuck steak in English, it's nice meat with some good fat)
Then I use this pre-cut frozen garlic and onion, very good, let it defrost in a bowl a bit, it's frozen so the onion doesn't make you cry 👊
Then put it all together in a big bowl, add 1 egg, then salt (more than u think u need) and pepper, some paprika powder (always good on anything!), then add some flour so it gets more whole (ppl often use bread crumbs but flour is fine maybe better) and massage it all and fold it many times until it becomes one giant meatball
I tried to make big Dutch meatballs (as big as a fist) last time but they're annoying to cook, takes ages and still raw inside
Small ones like these are better and easy to cook in some butter, so I do that now
The cooking is annoying still but okay, you gotta do medium heat (always on electric stove medium means like nothing comes out so more like 80%) and then you wait 3 mins for each side
Because it's a meatball there's like 6 sides so it takes awhile, so yeah I'd say 15-20min? I thought about doing it in airfryer but it'd be less juicy but I'll try next time
Anyway they were 10/10 excellent and JUICY and great protein source and gf + gf grandma loved them 😋
