  • 14 cup (31 g) bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp (30 g) 12% cream
  • 14 cup (31 g) bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp (30 g) 12% cream

Combine the breadcrumbs and heavy cream in a small bowl, stirring with a fork until all the crumbs are moistened. Set aside.

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 red onion, finely chopped

Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about five minutes, until softened. Remove from heat.

  • 150 g lean ground beef
  • 150 g ground pork
  • 1 Tbsp (12 g) white granulated sugar
  • 0.5 (26 g) large egg
  • 12 tsp (3 g) salt
  • 14 tsp black pepper
  • 150 g lean ground beef
  • 150 g ground pork
  • 1 Tbsp (12 g) white granulated sugar
  • 0.5 (26 g) large egg
  • 12 tsp (3 g) salt
  • 14 tsp black pepper

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, sugar and egg, salt, and pepper and mix well with your hands.

Add the breadcrumb-cream mixture and mix well. With wet hands (to keep the mixture from sticking), shape the mixture into meatballs the size of a golf ball, placing them on a plate lightly moistened with water. You should have about 24 meatballs.

  • 1 Tbsp, 1 12 tsp (21 g) unsalted butter
