🥩 Ingredients

Ingredients for golden and crispy meatballs: ground meat, bread rolls, breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, and various spices arranged neatly on a countertop.

For the Meatballs:

  • 500g ground pork
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (for the mixture)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small baguette (or 2 rolls), soaked in water & squeezed dry
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1.5 tbsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin

For Coating & Frying:

  • Extra breadcrumbs (for coating)
  • Oil for frying

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Get Everything Mixed

In a big bowl, combine the ground pork, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and soaked bread (make sure to squeeze out the excess water first).

2️⃣ Add the Spices

Season it up with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. These flavors are what make these meatballs next-level good!

3️⃣ Shape & Coat

Roll the mixture into small balls, then flatten them slightly (they puff up when frying!). Roll each one in breadcrumbs to get that crispy coating.

4️⃣ Heat the Oil

Pour enough oil into a frying pan to cover the bottom and heat over medium heat. Not too hot—you don’t want them burning on the outside before cooking inside!

5️⃣ Fry to Perfection

Fry the meatballs for about 5 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through and let them do their thing.

6️⃣ Drain & Enjoy!

Once they’re done, place them on paper towels to absorb any extra oil. And just like that—you’ve got yourself a plate of crispy, juicy perfection.
