Minced meat skewers are a quick and easy second course , ideal to bring to the table for any family lunch or dinner as an alternative to classic meatballs . These are delicious morsels based on minced beef pulp, egg, grated parmesan and breadcrumbs, wrapped in slices of stretched bacon and then cooked in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil: for a tasty and succulent result that will win over adults and little ones.
To prepare them, simply mix the indicated ingredients in a bowl, then with slightly damp hands form many cylindrical meatballs of the same weight and then skewer them one by one, after having covered them with the cured meat, with long wooden skewers. Once ready, you can serve the skewers with a portion of fried potatoes , gratin vegetables or a mixed seasonal salad, or you can offer them for a brunch or a buffet aperitif .
The bacon , browned on the fire, will seal the meat, making the dish crunchy on the outside and tender and juicy at the heart. We have flavored the preparation with a sprig of chopped parsley and freshly ground pepper but, alternatively, you can opt for your favorite spices and herbs, such as sweet paprika, rosemary, dried oregano, squeezed garlic, curry, chilli powder, and so on.
If the dough is too soft, you can adjust the consistency with more breadcrumbs or you can make it tastier by mixing the grated parmesan with a little seasoned pecorino. In our recipe we cooked the skewers in a pan with a drizzle of oil but, if you wish, you can place them on a baking tray and put them in a hot oven: they will still be delicious.
