4 servings
- ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
- ½ lb ground pork
Chef's tipUse a plant-based ground product and cook according to package directions; add oil only if needed. - ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes. - 1 large egg
Chef's tipFor each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies. - 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Chef's tipChoose 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.

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.
