Polpette
- 1/2 pound each ground veal and pork or any combination of ground meats
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Flour for dredging
- Combine the meat in a bowl with the egg, cheese, parsley, onion, and salt and pepper.
- Mix well but do not knead.
- Form into balls of any size you like; tiny (1/2-inch diameter) ones are kind of nice but take longer to form.
- Put the oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium.
- One by one, dredge the meatballs in the flour and add them to the oil.
- Cook, turning as necessary, until nicely browned all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
