Polpettine Alla Griglia (Sicilian Lemon Grilled Meatballs)
- 1 kg ground pork or 1 kg veal
- 125 g ground pecorino siciliano cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs, soaked 3 minutes in milk and the excess squeezed out
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- organically grown lemons or orange leaves, rubbed with olive oil
- Optional
- lemons or orange juice
- Combine all the ingredients except the leaves, and make many slightly flattened meatballs small enough that you can wrap each in a leaf (use a toothpicks or skewers to keep them rolled).
- Grill the meatballs until done and squeeze with lemon before serving. (The leaves are not edible, so you may wish to wrap the leaves in a manner that will be quick to unwrap.).
