Ingredients
- 500g lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup water
- Olive oil for frying
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, carrot, egg, breadcrumbs, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add water to the mixture, a little at a time, until it reaches a moist consistency that can easily be shaped into meatballs by hand.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a ping pong ball.
- Place the meatballs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
