Cooking halal beef meatballs involves a few simple steps. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of halal ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

• Preparation:
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Forming Meatballs:
  • Wet your hands lightly with water or oil. This helps prevent the meat from sticking to your hands.
  • Take a small amount of the meat mixture and roll it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
• Cooking:
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, place the meatballs in the skillet. Don't overcrowd them; you may need to cook in batches.
  • Cook the meatballs for about 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they brown evenly on all sides and are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
• Serving:
  • Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain any excess oil.
  • Serve them hot. You can enjoy them as they are, or add them to pasta sauce, in a sandwich, or with a side of vegetables or rice.

Additional Tips:

• You can adjust the herbs and spices according to your taste.
• If the meatball mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs. If it's too dry, you can add a splash of milk or water.
• For a richer flavor, you can mix in a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese with the meat mixture.

Remember, the key to making great meatballs is not to overwork the meat, as this can make them tough. Gently mix and form the meatballs for the best texture. Enjoy your cooking!
