Recipe: Fried meatballs
Ingredients for the meat mixture:
500 g. chopped beef
120-140 g. of chopped Mortadella (see note at the bottom of the recipe)
4-5 slices of sandwich bread
3 tablespoon of milk
a handful of parsley
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
3 complete eggs
1 and a half teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of grated nutmeg
one cup of bread crumbs
peanut oil for frying
Preparation:
First of all, in a food processor, chop garlic, parsley and Mortadella.
Put into the bowl of a mixer: the ground beef, eggs, salt, nutmeg,
parmesan, bread soaked in milk and squeezed
and the chopped garlic, parsley, mortadella.
Activate at low or medium speed for the time necessary
for the complete mixing of the ingredients.
Shape the dough into balls of about 4 cm in diameter
(wetting your hands gets better),
bread them in breadcrumbs and
fry for 4-5 min. in hot peanut oil.
If the oil does not cover the meatballs, turn them patiently
one by one, to brown them completely.
When ready, remove them and place them on a plate
with absorbent kitchen paper, to remove excess oil.
Serve at the table hot, even if they are still excellent
also at room temperature.
Note: Mortadella, (also known Bologna because coming from the city of Bologna).
Mortadella is a kind of huge pre-cooked and flavored sausage,
which is sold in thin slices, sliced at the moment.
It is commonly sold throughout Italy in grocery stores.
Very appreciated both as a filling for sandwiches
than for use in many recipes in the kitchen.
