Time 30m

Yield 15 Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 kg ground pork or 1 kg veal
125 g ground pecorino siciliano cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs, soaked 3 minutes in milk and the excess squeezed out
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
organically grown lemons or orange leaves, rubbed with olive oil
lemons or orange juice

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients except the leaves, and make many slightly flattened meatballs small enough that you can wrap each in a leaf (use a toothpicks or skewers to keep them rolled).
  • Grill the meatballs until done and squeeze with lemon before serving. (The leaves are not edible, so you may wish to wrap the leaves in a manner that will be quick to unwrap.).
