Best 4 Pork Mushroom Meatballs Recipes

ROASTED PORK MEATBALLS WITH GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the pork, onion, half the parsley and the lemon zest into a food processor with lots of pepper and some salt if you wish, then pulse until well mixed.
• Shape the meat into 25-30 balls and put in a large roasting tin. Arrange the mushrooms in a separate flame-proof roasting tin, sprinkle with garlic and drizzle with the oil, salt and pepper. Roast the meatballs for 25 mins, adding the mushrooms on the shelf below after 10 mins.
• Transfer mushroom tin to hob. Stir in sherry and crème fraîche and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the meatballs, then spoon it all onto a large warm dish. Serve sprinkled with the remaining parsley, roughly chopped.

PORK, MUSHROOM AND SOY SAUCE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to a moderate heat.
• Heat the oil in a sauté pan (preferably non-stick), add the onion and garlic, and sauté, while stirring, until the onion and garlic are soft but not browned.
• Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté, while stirring, until the mushrooms are just soft.
• Allow the onion, garlic and mushrooms to cool. If you transfer the onion/garlic/mushroom mixture to a plate (which is at room temperature), 5-10 minutes cooling time is ample.
• Combine the cooled mushroom mixture, minced veal/pork, egg, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, Greek seasoning and ground ginger in a bowl and mix until the ingredients are well-combined.
• Roll the mixture into balls, slightly larger than a walnut and slightly smaller than a golf ball. You should get about 60 meatballs from the mixture.
• Place the meatballs on lightly greased oven trays, turning them over once after you place them on the trays so that they are lightly oiled on the top.
• Cover the trays loosely with aluminium foil and bake the meatballs in a moderate oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are cooked all the way through.
• Add to soup or serve with your favourite spaghetti sauce over pasta.
• Chef's Note: These meatballs can be frozen. And unless you have a super-large ravenous family or you're feeding half the neighbourhood, you may well want to freeze some of the meatballs.

MUSHROOM-PORK LION'S HEAD MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix the ground pork with 5 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Mix in the chopped shiitakes, water chestnuts, Shaoxing wine, 3 tablespoons light soy sauce, the dark soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, peppercorns, minced scallions, cornstarch, eggs and sesame oil. Stir in the panko.
• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375˚F. Using wet hands, divide the pork mixture evenly into 8 large balls (the balls will not be firm). Using a slotted spoon, carefully add the balls to the hot oil in batches of 2 or 3. Cook, turning until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Line the bottom of a Dutch oven with the bok choy. Arrange the meatballs on the bok choy, then top with the ginger coins, whole mushroom caps, scallion pieces, chicken broth, remaining 3 tablespoons light soy sauce and the white pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the bok choy is tender and a thermometer inserted into the meatballs registers 165˚F, about 15 minutes. Discard the ginger coins.
• Serve the meatballs and vegetables in bowls. Pour in the broth.

PORK MEATBALLS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Put the pork in a mixing bowl.
• Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan, and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onion is wilted. Add the mushrooms and cook until they give up their liquid. Continue cooking until liquid evaporates.
• Add the mushroom mixture to the meat. Add the rosemary, salt and pepper to taste, bread crumbs, egg and pepper flakes. Blend well with the hands.
• Shape the mixture into 18 balls. Dredge the balls in flour and shake off excess.
• Heat enough of the remaining oil in a skillet to reach a depth of about one-eighth inch. Add the balls and cook, turning as they brown, until browned all over. Add the balls to the tomato sauce and cook about 30 minutes.
• Serve with cooked spaghetti.
