EASY MEATBALLS
Serves: 2, Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 white onion, roughly chopped
- 500 grams ground meat
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (1/8 block) of SCS Butter, Unsalted
Instructions
- Place ground meat in a blender or food processer.
- Heat olive oil in a medium pan and sauté onions till tender and clear. Transfer cooled onions into blender.
- Blend onions, ground meat and egg for 1 minute.
- Spoon balls of meat mixture into pan with medium heat and cook for 7 – 9 minutes on 2 sides till juices run clear.
Tips
- Eggless version: mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal and 3 tablespoon of water. Set aside for 1 hour before using.
- Mixing the meat mixture in a single direction allows the mixture to create layers, resulting in meatballs that hold their shape better.
- Double the recipe and store cooked meatballs in the freezer for meals on busy nights. Defrost in microwave on high for 3 minutes or bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.
- One-pot pasta: Cook meatballs for 3 minutes on 2 sides, throw in uncooked pasta and pasta sauce. Add enough water to cover everything and simmer until pasta is cooked.
