Ingredients

  • about 450 g Ground pork
  • 1 medium Onion, finely grated
  • 0.5 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp White pepper
  • 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Aquafaba

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the about 450 g ground pork, 1 medium finely grated onion, 0.5 cup milk, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp white pepper, 0.25 tsp nutmeg, and 2 tbsp aquafaba. Mix everything together gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. 2Shape the meat mixture into 12 to 16 small, flattened meatballs, each about 3.81 cm wide and 1.27 cm thick.
  3. 3Heat the 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches approximately 175°C.
  4. 4Carefully place the shaped meatballs into the hot skillet. Cook them for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 71°C when checked with a meat thermometer. If the meatballs are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
  5. 5Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate. Let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
