Fried polpette (meatballs) can be a second course or a tasty appetizer. And it is also a dish very popular with children.

My recipe calls for a mixture of lean and fat meat minced together, pecorino, egg, salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic.
It has always been my favorite dish ever since my mother cooked them. There was a risk that the polpette wouldn’t even arrive at the table, because my sister and I would sit by the stove and steal them one by one when my mother was distracted.
I still remember my mother’s mad face, realizing that the fried meatballs were slowly, but steadily getting eaten.
Fried meatballs are a variation of the meatballs cooked in a tomato sauce.
And there are also zucchini polpette, eggplant polpette, or ricotta meatballs.
