this is a Michael Symon recipe
He served the meatballs in lettuce cups with condiments such as sliced radish, cilantro, lime, carrot and jalapeno. I found them good in flour tortillas or with spaghetti with Marinara sauce.

• 1/2 teaspoon coriander

• salt
• canola oil for pan frying

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak bread in milk.

In a large mixing bowl add the rest of the ingredients and season to taste. squeeze milk out of the bread, discard milk and mix in bread.

Shape into slightly smaller than a golf ball size meat balls and dredge in flour, shaking off excess flour.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat. When hot add enough canola oil to slight come up the sides of the pan. Brown on all sides and drain on paper towels.
