Pearl Meatball Recipe

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (1 lb), breadcrumbs (½ cup), Parmesan cheese (¼ cup), egg (1), milk (¼ cup), onion (½), garlic (2 cloves), oregano, paprika (½ tsp), salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

3Heat olive oil (1-2 tbsp) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

4In the same skillet, add pearl couscous (½ cup) and toast for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

5Add the diced tomatoes (1 can) and beef broth (1 cup) to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.

6Return the meatballs to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the couscous is tender, stirring occasionally.

7Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
