Directions
  • First, put the ground beef, breadcrumbs and grated parmesan in a large bowl. Chop the parsley and garlic very finely and add them as well.
  • Then add the egg and season with salt and pepper. Now mix everything thoroughly with your hands until you get a compact mass.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
  • After resting, use your hands to form small meatballs from the mixture.
  • Heat plenty of sunflower oil in a high pan to about 340°F/170°C. Then put the meatballs into the boiling oil. Fry each for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove the finished meatballs, drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat the olive oil in another large frying pan and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent.
  • Then deglaze with the strained tomatoes, add a little salt and bring to the boil briefly. Then reduce the heat, add the fried meatballs and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  • Finally, transfer in portions to deep plates, serve immediately and enjoy hot.
  • Buon appetito!
