Prosciutto - Wrapped Meatballs
MAKES: 15 MEATBALLS
DAIRY FREE, GLUTEN FREE, NUT FREE
INGREDIENTS
- 500g grass-fed beef mince
- 1 large egg
- ½ brown onion (finely diced)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 Tbsp buckwheat flour
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 red chilli (finely sliced)
- 100g prosciutto or 8 slices (cut in half lengthways)
METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 175°C and line a large tray with baking paper
- Combine all ingredients (except prosciutto) in a large bowl and use a fork or your hands to mix together well
- Use a spring-loaded ice cream scooper to scoop out 15 even meatballs from the mixture and gently compress together with your hands
- Ensure you have cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthways so each slice is a ribbon around 2-3cm wide. Use one sliced prosciutto ribbon per meatball, wrapping it around the outside so it overlaps by a few centimetres from end to end. (Place the meatball on top of the prosciutto lap-over to help it stay together)
- Place prosciutto-wrapped meatballs in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes
