Preparation method
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat. Clean the Brussels sprouts by removing the outer unsightly leaves. Otherwise, leave the sprouts whole and do not halve them.
In a bowl, mix the minced meat with the egg, breadcrumbs, and very finely diced bacon. Salt as needed (caution: bacon and some minced meat mixtures are already salty). Finally, incorporate 50 ml of ice-cold water and knead briefly until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
Baking
Grease a baking dish with a little oil. With moistened hands, form ping-pong ball-sized meatballs from the meat mixture and place them in the dish with some space between them. Fill the gaps with the Brussels sprouts and brush everything with the remaining oil.
Chef's tip
For a particularly refined touch, you can mix a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg into the minced meat mixture – this pairs excellently with Brussels sprouts.
