Ingredients

• 500 g minced meat
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 50 g oats or panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 medium egg
• Salt and pepper, unless the meat is already seasoned
• Oil for frying
• A splash of water

Steps

1. Put the minced meat in a bowl. Add the oats, onion, cayenne pepper, basil, oregano, and egg. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
2. Knead until everything is combined.
3. Shape into 10 meatballs, approximately 60 g each, pressing them firmly enough to hold together.
4. Heat a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat, then add oil.
5. Add the meatballs, leaving space between them. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, turning gradually until golden brown all over.
6. Add a splash of water, cover with a lid or aluminium foil, and lower the heat.
7. Steam for 5–10 minutes; the batch in the video took approximately 7 minutes. Check that they’re cooked through, then serve.
