Hidden Liver Meatballs
These hidden liver meatballs are so tender, juicy and flavorful and the best of all is that nobody could tell it has sneaked in liver in it.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 7 oz liver
- 1 onion medium
- 3 garlic
- 3 tablespoon parsley
- egg
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a food processor chop your onion and parsley and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- In the same food processor mix the liver pieces until you have a smooth liver pate like mixture.
- Mix ground meat with ground liver and the rest of the ingredients.
- Wet your hands and form meatballs.
- Over medium heat, place the liver meatballs in a pre heated heavy based pan with oil and butter. Cook until golden brown.
- Rest for 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
- If you choose to bake these liver meatballs or cook them if the fryer follow these instructions:
Oven: place your meatballs on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake in a pre heated oven at 350°F/180C for about 18-20 minutes ( depending on the size of the balls) turning once half through.
Air fryer: Grease the air fryer and cook the meatballs for 10-12 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165F.
- Don't over mix the ground meat and ground liver with the rest of the ingredients as it'll turn rubbery.
Buy fresh ground meat and liver and emphasise on the liver here as it tends to smell the longer you leave it in the fridge.
