Squeeze out the excess milk and crumble it into a bowl.
2️⃣ Mix the meatball base
Add the ground meat, onion, garlic, egg, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and the soaked bread.
Mix everything by hand until well combined.
If the mixture feels too soft, add a little breadcrumb to firm it up.
3️⃣ Shape the meatballs
Roll into small balls or oval patties (about the size of a golf ball).
Coat each one lightly in flour.
4️⃣ Fry until golden
Heat oil or lard in a large skillet.
Fry the meatballs over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they’re browned and cooked through (about 8–10 minutes).
5️⃣ Serve
Serve warm with: 🥔 Mashed potatoes or rice 🥒 Pickled cucumbers or cabbage salad 🍞 Or even inside a fresh Hungarian bread roll for a Fasírt sandwich!
💡 Ashley’s Tips
Add a spoonful of mustard to the mixture for a deeper flavor.
To make them lighter, you can bake the meatballs at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes instead of frying.
Serve them with a tomato or paprika sauce on top for a more festive dish!
