Eggless and wheat-free meatballs Ingredients:
– 170 g minced meat (duckling, soft leg or other meat of your choice)
– 30 g of minced/processed mortadella (optional)
– 1 teaspoon onion, grated
– 1/2 clove garlic, grated
– 1 teaspoon(s) of olive oil
– 1 tablespoon(s) of parsley
– salt to taste
– pepper to taste THE
Ingredients FOR SPRAYING OR BRUSHING
– oil to taste (or olive oil)
PREPARATION:
- Separate the ingredients and utensils needed for the recipe.
- Process the mortadella (optional) until it is minced, with a consistency similar to meat. If you are not using mortadella, increase the amount of meat to 200 grams for 2 portions to maintain the proportion.
- Peel the onion and garlic, grate them finely and squeeze them to eliminate excess liquid.
- Wash and dry the parsley, chop it very finely and set it aside on absorbent paper.
- Adding ice cubes to the mixture is the trick to bind the meat together and prevent the meatballs from breaking during cooking. Use 1 cube for every 2 servings or enough (see preparation).
PREPARATION:
Meatballs – Prepare the dough:
- In a bowl, mix the ground meat and the processed mortadella (optional).
- Add the olive oil, grated onion and garlic and chopped parsley. Mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix again.
- Add the ice cube(s) and knead the mixture until the ice partially disintegrates, forming a homogeneous mass. If necessary, adjust the amount of ice to ensure a binding without excess liquid.
Meatballs – Shaping and Cooking:
- Preheat the Airfryer to 160°C for 3-5 minutes.
- Using a spoon as a measure, form the dough into balls.
- Place the meatballs in the Airfryer basket without stacking them, leaving space between them to allow air circulation. If necessary, divide this step into batches.
- Brush or drizzle the surface of the meatballs with oil or olive oil.
- Place the basket in the drawer and insert it into the airfryer preheated to 160°C.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are tender on the inside and lightly browned on the outside. The time may vary depending on the power of your appliance.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Serve the Eggless and wheat-free meatballs as a main course, accompanied by tomato sauce over the pasta or polenta.
