I tried to make this for my husband, who was missing the food from his home country. I wanted him to enjoy it so I challenged myself with the recipe!

It's rather simple; you just have to follow the process. Be sure to mix it real well and thoroughly coat the meatballs in panko. Recipe by siennamore

Steps

1

Chop the onion, carrots, and garlic.
2

Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the vegetables until the onion becomes translucent and the carrot softens. Be careful not to burn it. Then, transfer to a dish to cool.
3

Being careful not to burn them, put the two slices of bread in the oven and bake them to dry them out.
4

In a bowl, combine the ground meat, egg, cooled vegetables from Step 2. Crush the dried bread from Step 3 then throw it in as well. Add in some salt and pepper, then mix together your hands.
5

Once the mixture has been thoroughly combined, roll into baseball-sized balls.
6

Then, roll in the panko to coat.
7

When all of them are coated with panko, heat up a large amount of olive oil in a frying pan.
8

Once the olive oil has heated up enough, cook the polpetta as though you are frying them.
9

Roll the meatballs around to cook all sides well, then transfer them to a 150°C.
10

When the surface has browned to a deep color (about 10 minutes), they're ready!
