Where to find ingredients
You can find lean ground beef and fresh pantry staples at local butcher shops or grocery stores in Banjul and around the Greater Banjul Area. Onion soup mix is available in the dry goods section of most supermarkets. For the best result, ensure the beef is high quality; breadcrumbs can serve as a substitute for flour if preferred, though the original texture relies on the wheat flour specified.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, egg, and soy sauce.
- Gradually incorporate the flour while mixing until the dough is firm enough to shape without sticking to your hands.
- Form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
- Heat oil in a skillet and pan-fry the meatballs until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Alternatively, you may bake the meatballs in a preheated oven until cooked through.
