Dinner
1 lb. home-made sausage (from my website)
1 lb. 85/15 beef
4 slices GF bread
1 cup high fat unsweetened non-dairy beverage
1.5 tsp. (or to taste) kosher salt
2 tsp. italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 large minced onion (red)
1 tsp salt (for the onion)
1/2 tsp. onion powder
3 cloves mashed garlic
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 large egg
I love these. I had some leftover sausage and the combo of pork/beef seems to make a very flavourflul meatball. The panad (mixing the bread with non-dairy milk) really helps, as does the red onions.
Take 4 slices of gf bread and break them up in a small bowl, add milk, let stand for 10 minutes.
Combine remaining ingredients in bowl, combine until well blended. Squeeze out the bread, and put into the mixture. Combine again.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet to medium, and let it get up to temperature (about 5 mins or so). Add 1/8 of an inch olive oil to the pan. Make round meatballs by using your hands (I sometimes use a cookie scoop for a more consistent size), and fry on all sides until well browned. I like to turn about every 3-4 minutes.
Once meatballs are brown on all sides, put on toweled rack, and lightly sprinkle with a dash of kosher salt. Let cool and put in fridge.
You can use other meats with this, but I found that this combo with the red onions made GREAT meatballs.
