Baked meatballs

Ingredients:

• 225 g of minced pork
• 225 g of minced young lamb
• 225 g of ground beef tenderloin
• 140 g frozen spinach (defrosted and squeezed thoroughly)
• 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 whole egg
• 1.5 tsp dried basil
• 1.5 tsp dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs (for stuffing and coating)

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, lamb, and beef with spinach, Parmesan cheese, egg, basil, parsley, garlic powder, salt, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup bread crumbs. Mix well with your hands. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs in a small bowl. Using a scale, measure out 40g (1.5 oz) portions of ground meat and place them on a baking sheet. Using your hands, form about 20 meatballs, roll them in the bread crumbs, and place one ball in each muffin cup in a metal muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown and set.
