7 steps

Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  1. 1

  2. 2
    Mix well but do not knead.
  3. 3
    Form into balls of any size you like; tiny (1/2-inch diameter) ones are kind of nice but take longer to form.
  4. 4
    Put the oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium.
  5. 5
    One by one, dredge the meatballs in the flour and add them to the oil.
  6. 6
    Cook, turning as necessary, until nicely browned all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve hot or at room temperature.
