Meatballs

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Meatball Mixture

In a large bowl, combine ground veal, ground beef, ground pork, fresh breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2

Form the Meatballs

Wet your hands slightly and form the mixture into 3 equal-sized meatballs.

3

Pan-fry the Meatballs

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

4

Serve

Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot, drizzled with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a dollop of ricotta on top.
