Meat, chicken or fish: the same recipe!
Preparing a delicious dish requires choosing the ingredients and the quality of the products. The first step is to opt for meatballs from your butcher, according to your preferences: whether it is meat or chicken, there is a way to prepare this recipe for optimal and succulent taste. Note that it can also be done with salmon, tuna or cod. It will be up to you to choose according to your preferences.
Anyway, remember that the main objective is to prepare a light dish. While we are used to dumplings in sauce or deep-fried, an oil-free version promises great flavors too. The secret is to put them in the oven. Here are all the steps to prevent them from cooking when dry.
Baked dumplings
After choosing your main ingredient, the mixing must be done so that your meat keeps its flavors. To prevent it from drying out, add the following ingredients to 350 g of meat:
- 3 slices of sliced bread
- 3 spoons of bread crumbs to keep for baking
- A glass of milk
- One egg
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- A spoon of chopped parsley
- Some spices according to your tastes
Prepare the dumplings
All of your ingredients should be poured into a bowl. Start with the slices of white bread that you will crumble and the milk before adding the rest. As a final preparation, this will form a slimy and compact paste. If you like onion, add a few spoons of chopped onion, and mix everything together.
Cooking time
Before cooking your recipe, it is recommended to let the mixture rest in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, preheat your oven and place a suitable dish on it where you will have parchment paper so that your preparation does not stick.
Form dumplings, medium in size, before placing them on top of the baking paper on your oven plate. Pour a little olive oil, and place a few bread crumbs on it.
Your dumplings should cook at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, but turn them over after 10 minutes of cooking. You can serve them with sautéed vegetables, wholegrain rice or a Mediterranean salad.
Your dish will then be ready for tasting. Enjoy your meal !
