Cooking Instructions
Meatballs:
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. If the mixture seems really wet, add some extra bread crumbs. If it seems too dry, drizzle in some extra olive oil. Mix thoroughly but do not over mix
- Form meat into 1 ½ inch balls. Roll the meatball until bound. Drop the meatballs onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Continue until all meatballs are formed. Bake meatballs for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Serve meatballs hot. Can be served with dipping sauce (see below).
Sauce:
- In a medium size bowl, mix all ingredients together and chill for approximately one hour before serving with meatballs.
Tip: I like to make individual (appetizer) servings with a dollop of sauce on an Asian spoon with the meatball on top.
