Ingredients for 4 people:
- 400 g. of mixed ground beef and pork
- a mozzarella of 100 gr.
- 100 g. of mortadella
- 2 eggs
- 120 g. of breadcrumbs
- a potato
- 50 g. of dry white wine
- a small bunch of parsley
- salt
- pepper
Preparation:
Start the preparation by boiling a whole potato and then peel it and mash it with a fork or a potato masher. Very finely chop the parsley, mortadella and mozzarella and in a large bowl, mix the eggs with the salt, pepper and white wine. Add the minced meat, the potato, the mortadella, the mozzarella, the breadcrumbs and mix well until you have a uniform mixture.
With a spoon, take parts of the dough and make balls of about 4 cm in diameter. In frying to have non-greasy meatballs it is necessary to cover the surface with breadcrumbs, therefore prepare more breadcrumbs in a large dish where you will then roll the meatballs just made. Roll them in the breadcrumbs and put them on another plate. In a large pan, heat a good oil for frying, better if you use peanut oil.
Put the meatballs in the pan and cook until they brown all over the surface. Drain them with a slotted spoon and place them on a serving plate with absorbent kitchen paper. Serve them still hot with the melted mozzarella.
Accompany this tasty dish with a cherry-scented red wine such as a Sangiovese di Romagna.
Enjoy your meal!
