  • 2 tbs parsley
  • 1/4 tsp ginger

  • 2 slices white bread cut in cubes
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • Shape and roll mixture into meatballs.
  • Heat 2 tbs of vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over low heat.
  • Add about 25 meatballs to a large skillet or saucepan and cook until meatballs are cooked throughout and no longer pink, flipping a few times to cook evenly, about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Repeat until they are all cooked.
  • Remove fat from skillet. Add 2 cups of warm water. Cover and cook at low heat for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
