Ingredients
⅓ cup milk
1 slice bread, crust removed
½ pound ground goat
½ pound ground pork
1 tablespoon finely chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 large egg
Pinch ground nutmeg or dried marjoram
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetable oil, as needed
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup panko or other dry bread crumbs
½ cup horseradish mustard, optional
½ cup sour cream, optional
Preparation
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 3
Gently, without squeezing, shape mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll in bread crumbs to coat.
- 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.
Private Notes
Comments
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.
