Bereiding / Preparation

Combine meatball ingredients and form into 1.5 inch diameter balls. Then flatten slightly into mini patties (about ¾ in thick) and make small indentation in the center. Arrange on platter + chill.

Preheat the Qookingtable on #5. When reached – orange light off – set temperature to #8. When reached – orange light off – place meatballs onto the cooking center. Space out evenly and give them room so they can brown nicely. Use thin spatulas or tongs for turning.

Fry for 6 to 7 minutes on each side – no cooking oil necessary. Food will loosen all by itself for turning. After 5 minutes center should be slightly pink, 7 minutes should produce well-done meatballs.

To keep warm, push them in the outer warming area and set temperature to #3
