- Take meat out about 1 hour before cooking, salt it and leave to rest
- Finely dice the onion and fry in the olive oil at a medium heat until onion is glassy
- While onion is cooking, add pepper, beaten egg and bread crumbs (and Maggi) to the meat, mix well, adding the onion to the mixture when ready
- Heat a large frying pan (same as used for the onion) or a griddle if you want to cook without oil to 3/5 max temperature
- Measure out small balls at about 50 g each and put them on a plate or chopping board
- Cook the meatballs for 3-4 minutes per side and set them aside for 1 minute to rest
This recipe goes well with mashed potatoes and pretty much any vegetables. Enjoy!
