How to Make It
Ingredients
- 1 pound (16 ounces) ground beef, lamb or pork
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ⅔ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ medium red onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
Preparation
For a different variation, use ground turkey or chicken. Or try with fresh herbs like dill, mint, cilantro or parsley. Pair with tomato-based sauces like marinara or yogurt-based dips like tzatziki.
This recipe is a great way to use up extra baby foods! Simply use infant cereal instead of breadcrumbs and 4 oz. vegetable puree in place of eggs (carrot or sweet potato purees work well).
