Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan, combine milk and bread. Place over medium-low heat and bring to a boil. Mash bread with a fork, and remove from heat.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer to a mixing bowl and add goat, pork, onion, parsley, egg, nutmeg or marjoram, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently by hand.

  3. Step 3

    Gently, without squeezing, shape mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll in bread crumbs to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Place a large skillet over high heat, and add about ¼ inch oil. When oil shimmers, gently add meatballs by sliding them onto a wide spatula and then into oil. Turn meatballs until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, then immediately to a warm serving platter. If desired, serve with mustard or a sauce of equal parts mustard and sour cream.

These were good but I thought the seasonings for my families taste were a bit light so I added basil, oregano, additional marjoram, extra garlic. I didn't have any parsley in the house so just skipped it. The combo of goat and pork is a nice choice as these are rich and make a great addition to the sauce. Will make again. I think they would also do well with lamb and pork.
