Ingredients:

Meat muffins

• 450 g of ground beef
• 450 g of minced pork
• 450 g of minced veal
• 1 egg
• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Cheese buns with parsley made from shortcrust pastry

• 3 cups premium flour
• 1 tbsp. grated Parmesan
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp. baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 110 g chilled butter, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley or chives
• 1 cup cool whole milk

Spaghetti sauce

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 2 cans (400 g each) of canned tomatoes in pieces
• 20 basil leaves, chopped

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Meat muffinsIn a large bowl, combine all the ground meats, egg, onion, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix until smooth. Spoon the mixture into small muffin tins.
3. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve the meatballs in a split bun with sauce and cheese.
4. Cheese buns with parsleyIn a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup Parmesan, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the butter and rub with your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Stir in the parsley. Gradually pour in the milk, mixing with a fork until moist clumps form. If the mixture is dry, add more milk.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead it 8-10 times until firm. Let it rest for 10 minutes, covered with a damp towel. Roll it out on a floured work surface. Using a 5cm pastry ring, cut out circles and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake until the buns are puffed and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
7. Spaghetti sauceIn a medium skillet over high heat, sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, until softened. Add the tomatoes and simmer until the liquid has slightly evaporated and the sauce has thickened, about 25 minutes. Stir in the basil just before serving.
