This recipe allows you to chop and mix all of the ingredients directly
in the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor.
Makes 18 meatballs
1. Put beef and pork pieces into the freezer for 30 minutes to
slightly harden. Preheat oven to 425º F. Line two baking
sheets with aluminum foil. Reserve.
2. While meat is in freezer, insert the Large Chopping Blade
into the Large Work Bowl. With the food processor
running on High, drop the garlic through the small feed
tube to finely chop. Add the parsley and onion to the
bowl and pulse to roughly chop, about 5 to 6 times.
Once the 30 minutes have elapsed and the meat is firm
but not hard, add the meat to the work bowl along with
the remaining ingredients. Pulse to chop meat and
combine ingredients until meat is medium fine,
about 35 times.
3. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, form meat mixture into
balls. Bake until golden brown on all sides, about 25 to
30 minutes.
4. Serve plain or with tomato sauce.
