Chimichurri Meatballs

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F

Step 2

Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.Make the chimichurri sauce according to directions in separate post

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together 1/3 cup prepared chimichurri with the bread crumbs, toss to combine until there are no longer any dry parts.Add in the ground beef and lamb or pork (whichever you prefer), eggs and salt

Step 4

Mix well with your hands until the breadcrumb mixture is completely incorporated with the meat and eggs.Roll the meat mixture into 1 ½ inch balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on the baking sheet, about 28-30 total.Bake for 15 minutes

Step 5

Turn the oven to broil and cook for 5 more minutes until the meatballs are browned and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant read thermometer

Step 6

Discard any fat that leaked out of the meatball (don’t worry they will still be really tender.)Transfer the meatballs to a serving platter and serve with remaining chimichurri sauce.
