The meat balls are extremely yummy. I love meatballs as you can use them as just that; meatballs, or as a base for other creative dishes. I like my food; like my clothing, versatile. Dress up or down! Mustard is one of my favorite condiments; so if you are not excited about mustard, check this recipe off your list. I renamed the meatballs from Czech Meatballs, because we have been to Prague, a wonderful, young folk city, that was not ever bombed in WW11. The architecture is amazing! Thank you WELL FED cookbook!
Ingredients:
- 1 clove minced garlic (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds ( toasted)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard (Trader Joe's brand)

- 2 pounds ground pork
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Cover a large baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, mix the garlic, salt, caraway seeds, paprika, pepper, parsley, mustard and egg. With your hands, crumble the pork into the bowl and knead until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
Measure one level tablespoon of pork and roll into a ball. Line up the formed meatballs on prepared baking sheet about 1/2-inch of apart.
Slide meatballs into the oven and bake 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with a little mayo mixed with the grainy mustard. YUM!
Really good with any type of potato side...
