Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices bread torn into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup parsley fresh, chopped
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, top with a wire rack and spray with cooking spray.
  • To make a panade, pour milk into a small bowl and add torn pieces of bread. Mush the bread with a fork into the milk until it’s a thick pasty mixture. 
    2 slices bread, 1/2 cup milk
  • In a small skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Add shallot and garlic and Saute for 2-3 minutes 
    1 shallot, 1 tsp garlic, 1 tbsp butter
  • In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, pork, shallot, garlic, basil, salt, oregano, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, parsley and some of the panade mixture. Add the panade gradually to the large mixing bowl and just use enough for the meat to bind properly – you don’t want it having too much liquid. Do not overwork – you’ll make the meatballs tough. 
    1 pound ground pork, 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup parsley, 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Grab a pinch of the meat mixture and form into balls. Meatballs should be about 2” in diameter. Roll gently to a ball shape and set on the baking rack. 
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until meatballs are browned and cooked through. Temp to 160 and let rest for 5 min
