Spicy meatballs

Pittige gehaktballetjes

You can use this recipe to make small meatballs for drinks or larger ones as a main course.

Preparation

  1. Take the minced meat out of the refrigerator half an hour beforehand and let it come slightly to room temperature. This prevents the meatballs from shrinking while frying.
  2. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and fry it in the pan with half of the oil until translucent. Let it cool slightly so it is manageable.
  3. Put the minced meat in a large bowl and add all the ingredients except the butter and oil. Mix this with your hands. Meanwhile, heat the butter and the rest of the oil in the same frying pan. Wet your hands and roll the meatballs.
  4. Fry the meatballs first at a high temperature to seal the meat, then turn down the heat and simmer until cooked through.
Delicious with satay sauce for drinks or with white rice and vegetables as a main course.
