Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 7-inch-long soft hero rolls
1/2 cup milk
1 1/4 pounds ground pork
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Trim the ends of the hero rolls by about 1-inch. Pulse the ends in a food processor to make soft bread crumbs. Soak 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs in the milk in a large bowl (save any extra crumbs for another use), about 5 minutes. Gently mix the pork with the soaked bread crumbs, parsley, 2 teaspoons mustard, five-spice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into 16 meatballs, each about 1 1/2--inches in diameter.
  • Arrange the meatballs at least 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until fully cooked through, about 20 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and cook until the meatballs are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground pork. This will give your meatballs a more complex flavor. Ground pork shoulder is a good choice because it's flavorful and juicy, but you can also use ground pork loin or a combination of the two.
  • Season the meatballs well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of garlic, onion, and herbs. You can also add a little grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs for extra flavor.
  • Brown the meatballs before baking them. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make your pork meatballs shine. You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy mushroom sauce, or a tangy barbecue sauce.
  • Serve the pork meatballs with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pork meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different ways to make them, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
