IngredientsMakes: 748g
65geggs
55gmilk
35gbread crumbs
160gmushrooms
125gonions
145gsmoked streaky bacon
300gminced venison
3gsalt
3gblack pepper
Method
Whisk the egg & milk & add it to the bread crumbs.
The breadcrumbs soak up the liquid and give a juicier meatball!
Dice the mushrooms 1/4 inch / 1/2cm, cook until browned.
Repeat for the onions in the same pan.
Dice the bacon in the same way nice and small.
This adds fat content and keeps the meat ball juicy but we don't want big stringy bits of fat so fine chop!
Add all the ingredients to the pre-soaked breadcrumbs and mix until homogenous.
Fry off a small patty to check the seasoning and adjust as necessary.
This mix is heavy on the black pepper - goes well w/ the venison!
