Fried mini meatballs with sliced beautifully ripe and sweet sliced tomatoes and arugula



Meatballs are a timeless dish of home cooking, loved by both adults and children! With the recipe for rustic fried meatballs, I offer you a delicious variant to serve as an appetizer. Enriched with beautifully ripe and sweet sliced tomatoes and arugula to obtain golden morsels with a soft and juicy texture: a delicious white alternative to the classic meatballs with sauce. Accompanied by a cold beer, the rustic fried meatballs will be perfect to share with friends!

INGREDIENTS
Mortadella to taste
Sausage to taste
Grana Padano to be grated 80 g
Pecorino cheese to grate 80 g
Large eggs 2
Parsley to chop 3 Tablespoons
Garlic 1 segment
Wild fennel to taste
Black pepper to taste
Nutmeg to taste
Fine salt to taste

FOR BREADING AND FRYING
Breadcrumbs to taste
Peanut oil to taste

PREPARATION

To make rustic fried meatballs, first remove the crust from the loaf of bread and cut into chunks. Chop the bread in a mixer until crumbled. In a large bowl, put the minced meat, the shelled sausage and the mortadella that you have previously chopped in the mixer. Chop the parsley and pour it into the dough, then add the herbs: nutmeg, fennel, salt and pepper. Add the grated Parmesan and Pecorino cheese, the minced garlic clove and beaten eggs. Mix the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous, soft and compact dough (If it is too dry, you can add another egg). Finally, add the bread and mix again. Take a large knob of dough and form a meatball. Lightly crush the meatball to obtain an oval shape, then dip it in breadcrumbs. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan and fry the meatballs, turning them occasionally until they are evenly browned. Drain on paper towels and serve the rustic fried meatballs while still warm!

INGREDIENTS

2 tomatoes
oil and salt to taste
oregano to taste
rocket to taste

PROCEDURE

Wash the tomatoes, cut them into slices and season with a little olive oil, oregano and salt. Wash some of the arugula. Happy sliced tomato and rocket to all!
