In the directions #3 for the Dianoga Meatballs- it states to add the beef, pork, egg…..
The list of ingredients does not mention any pork. If pork is one of the ingredients how much gets added.
David, that’s a great question. I looked at the original recipe, and it doesn’t list pork either. Typically I think meats are combined in equal portions for meatballs, so you could go that route.
