Meatball Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground veal, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into large balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure they are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite sauce or on a bed of pasta.
