Dutch Bitterballen (Meatballs) - Gluten-Free

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Plant-based Milk
• 1/2 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1 tsp Mustard
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Flour
• 1 cup Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup plant-based milk, 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp mustard, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
2. 2Mix all the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Then, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
3. 3Place the 1/2 cup gluten-free flour onto a plate or shallow dish. Gently roll each meatball in the gluten-free flour, ensuring it is lightly and evenly coated.
4. 4Pour the 1 cup of oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers, approximately 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Carefully add the floured meatballs to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the meatballs for 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
6. 6Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked bitterballen from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. 7Serve the Dutch Bitterballen hot with mustard for dipping.
