Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms diced
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 cup parsley minced
- 3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Clean and dice mushrooms. Mince 5 cloves garlic and 1 cup of fresh parsley.
- Saute garlic in a large pan over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, then add in the mushrooms, raise heat to medium and saute until they release their water (about 10 minutes).
- Once water mostly evaporates place mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and let cool for a few minutes.
- To the bowl, add in 3 beaten eggs, all the parsley, salt, pepper, Pecorino cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix well, form meatballs into golf-sized balls, and place them on a baking sheet with a wire rack or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake mushroom meatballs for 25-30 minutes at 350f on middle oven rack. Serve meatballs in sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Makes about 10-12 golf ball sized meatballs.
- Use wet or oiled hands to effectively roll the mushroom meatballs without sticking.
- If the meatballs are too wet, add a touch more breadcrumbs to the mixture. Conversely, if too dry, add 1-2 ounces of water to loosen up the mix.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a pot on medium-low heat until warmed through.
