Meatballs alla Albina Federico

By Marylee

My grandmother, Albina, was famous for her delicate yet tasty meatballs.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of veal, pork and beef ground
• 4 eggs
• 1 bunch chopped fresh parsley
• 2 - 3 handfuls of grated parmigianna cheese
• 4 - 6 cloves chopped fresh garlic
• 1 small handful of breadcrumbs
• 2 splashes of water
• salt and pepper
• olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except the olive oil. Mix by hand until combined and somewhat smooth. Shape into balls to the size you like and fry in hot olive oil until a crust is formed and the meat is cooked inside.
