½ lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
¼ cup whole milk
Ingredient note
Higher-fat dairy is sometimes limited on an anti-inflammatory diet because saturated fat can be pro-inflammatory for some people, but this recipe uses only about 1 tbsp of whole milk per serving, so the amount is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid whole milk, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
¾ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
olive oil spray

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk and formed a paste.
2
Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, garlic, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of breadcrumb paste remain; do not overwork the meat.
