Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1/3 cup minced onion
• 1/3 cup minced red bell pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Pinch of ground paprika

Directions

• In a small sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Combine the meat with the sautéed onion and pepper, the egg, the breadcrumbs, and salt, pepper and paprika. With wet hands, form the meat into small balls.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a sauté pan and cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through. Serve with toothpicks, or a simple tomato sauce for dipping and crusty bread for mopping everything up.
