Meat Grinder Recipes

A meat grinder is basically used for fine mincing or mixing raw or cooked meat. It is an easy-to-use kitchen appliance that uses a screw conveyor for grinding, which is powered by a hand wheel or an electric motor. Here are some delicious meat grinder recipes that you could try.

Lamb Meat Recipe
Ingredients:

• 1 lb finely chopped spring onion
• heart, liver and kidneys of a spring lamb
• salt and pepper
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley mixed with dill
• ½ cup finely chopped walnuts

Fry the liver and heart together in oil for a few minutes and pass them through a meat grinder. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onions in it. Put the meat in the frying pan, add salt and pepper and saute gently for 15 minutes more. Cook until the meat becomes soft and tender. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the meat with chopped walnuts. This dish can be served either warm or cold.

Chicken Balls With Curry
Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• ½ cup chopped almonds
• 4 tbsp. mayonnaise
• cooked chicken

Pass the cooked chicken through a meat grinder. Then put the chicken, mayonnaise, chopped almonds, cream cheese, and curry powder in a bowl, and mix them properly. Roll the mixture into teaspoon-sized balls and sprinkle them with curry before serving.

Ravioli With Savory Stuffing
Ingredients:

• 2 chopped onions
• 1 lb. pork
• 1 lb. veal
• 4 boxes frozen leaf spinach
• 1½ cup fresh cracker meal (crumbs)
• 2 packets of cream cheese, each of 3 oz.
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 eggs
• 1½ tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp chopped mushrooms
½ tbsp pepper
• ¼ tbsp garlic salt

Grind the meat and veal in a grinder and cook the meat in 1 cup of water, for about 30 minutes. Cook spinach in a separate pan and finely chop it. Put chopped onions, pork, spinach, fresh cracker meal (crumbs), cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, chopped mushrooms and garlic salt, in a bowl and mix them well. Add salt and pepper to the mixture, and cover the bowl with a piece of wax paper. This stuffing can also be frozen for future use. For the preparation of dough, put flour on a board and add 1 tbsp salt, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 cup water in a well in its center. Mix the ingredients to form a stiff dough, and knead it for 20 minutes. Prepare a ball of dough and divide it into 3 or 4 pieces. Roll one piece and when it becomes thin enough, crease in center. Flip back the top half of the piece and fill the stuffing into the crease. Leave a slight margin on the top ends, flip the top piece back, and the press edges firmly. Repeat the procedure with each piece and your stuffed ravioli is ready to be served.

Tasty Veal Dumplings
Ingredients:

• 1 lb. fresh veal

Saute onions and parsley in a pan and add to the ground veal and bread. Put in the beaten eggs, salt and pepper as per taste and lemon rind. Prepare the mixture and make dumplings with a teaspoon or soup spoon on side of the bowl. Then smoothen the dumplings and put them into chicken or beef broth. Wait for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
