Swabian Mini Meatballs {Schwaebische Mini Fleischkuechle}
1-3/4 lb. of ground beef {I like to use the leanest}
1/2 lb. of ground pork
1/2 -3/4 C Matzo Meal {or if lactose is no issue any type of breadcrumb}
2-3 cloves of garlic finely minced, or pressed
1 small onion finely diced
1 Tbs dried parsley {or fresh, but use more}
3-4 tsp paprika
1 Tbs Kosher salt
Black Pepper {I grind a lot of it on top}
1 egg
1. Mix all the ingredients together until well blended. You may have to increase the amount of Matzo
Meal/breadcrumbs if the mixture is not firm enough. Let the "dough" rest for at least 30 minutes,
then,
2. roll dough into individual meatballs about 1"
3. {I use a cast iron pan and do not add oil} heat your pan, and add the first batch of meatballs. Be
sure to not overcrowd the pan. When one side is nice and brown, turn - keep repeating the turning
until meatballs are browned on all sides. Then,
4. remove from pan and set on paper towel. Repeat until all meatballs are nice and brown.
You can either enjoy them warm, or cold. I like them without any condiments - yes, me who is usually crazy about condiments - but Ron likes them with mustard. They are perfect finger food and a hit at any party!
