This recipe is a great way to use up stale bread.
Serves 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking
time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 slices white or brown bread
3 ½ fl oz / 100 ml
milk
1 lb / 500 g minced beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
Breadcrumbs
2
tablespoons sunflower oil
Preparation:
Cut the crusts off the bread and tear into small pieces.
Put the milk in a shallow dish and soak the bread in it.
Once the bread is soft, squeeze out any excess milk and
mix into the minced meat. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Divide the meat into 12 equal portions and roll
into balls.
Put the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and coat each meatball.
In a large saucepan, heat
the oil over a medium heat and fry the meatballs until light brown on all sides. Turn frequently.
Reduce the heat
and let the meatballs cook for a further 8-10 minutes, turning regularly, until crispy on the outside and cooked all the way
through.
Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and a steamed green vegetable. Delicious accompanied by apple puree.
