- Bread (100 grams, soaked in milk and squeezed)
- Leftover boiled meats (500 grams)
Instructions
- Chop the boiled meats finely or grind them in a meat grinder.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped meat, soaked bread, eggs, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
- Roll the meatballs in breadcrumbs until they are evenly coated.
- In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the meatballs and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
