For Meatballs

INGREDIENTS:
– 500g (1.1lbs) ground beef
– 250g (slightly more than ½lb) ground pork
– 1 onion finely chopped
– 1 clove of garlic (crushed or minced)
– 100g (3.5oz) breadcrumbs
– 1 egg
– 5 tablespoons of whole milk
– Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Combine beef and pork mince and mix thoroughly to break up any lumps. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg, and mix. Add milk and season well with salt and pepper.

2. Shape mixture into small, round balls. Place on a clean plate, cover, and store in the fridge for two hours (to help them hold their shape while cooking).

3. In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat. When hot, gently add your meatballs and brown on all sides.

4. When browned, add to an ovenproof dish and cover. Place in a hot oven, 350ºF or 180ºC, and cook for a further 30 minutes.
