I got this recipe from the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat yesterday (Aug 11th, 2011). I made them yesterday and my husband totally freaked out - he said they were the best meatballs he'd had in his life (better than the ones his Mom makes!). So by popular demand, here's the recipe:
500 g of ground beef (the fatty kind, or a mixture of beef and pork)
half an onion (I left this out completely since my husband cannot stand onion)
1 egg
1 teaspoonful of fresh oregano, chopped up (I used a bit more)
1 teaspoonful of fresh parsley, chopped up (I used a bit more)
salt (preferably sea salt, ground in a mill)
black pepper (whole peppers, ground in a mill)
oil for frying (the original recipe calls for rapeseed oil)
- Peel and chop up the onion
- Mix together all the ingredients (note: take the meat out of the fridge at least half and hour before cooking it)
- make meatballs out of the mixture
- fry in oil in a pan or cook in the oven at 225 C (437 F) for 10-15 minutes (I kept them in for the whole 15 minutes)
- serve with a salad (if not on a low-carb diet, serve also potatoes)
- Enjoy!
