Italian Cooking Lesson: Polpette di Manzo (Beef meatballs)
Live-streamed from Italy on April 16, 2020 early in the Covid lockdowns. Culture Discovery Vacations hosts Italian cooking, culinary, and wine tours throughout Italy and Portugal, and all of our vacations feature live hands-on cooking classes. Since we could not be with wonderful guests in person, Carla, the chef-instructor from our main location in Italy began live streaming cooking classes while the world was locked down... for free... just to be together in harmony. The recipe listed below:

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb + 6 oz.( 600 gr.) of ground beef.
2 eggs
3.5 oz (100 gr.) Parmesan cheese
5-6 TBSPS of breadcrumbs plus more to coat the meatballs
½ cup of milk
1 bundle of Italian parsley
Nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste
Mazola oil for frying
PREPARATION:
Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Add two eggs, the 5-6 TBSPS of breadcrumbs, the milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and the Italian parsley ( chopped finely), and the parmesan cheese.
Use your hands to combine all the ingredients.
This mixture needs to be moist but you need to be able to form your meatballs. If it is too moist add a little more parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Allow it to rest while you are preparing the oil in a large frying pan.
Spread a good amount of breadcrumbs on a tray. Start shaping the meatballs and roll them in the breadcrumbs. The size of the meatballs is very important. They should be about 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter. (something in between the size of an apricot and a small peach).
Slightly press the meatballs to make them a little flat.
Once the oil is hot (test by placing a few breadcrumbs in the oil. If they cook fast it is ready), start frying your meatballs. You do not want the oil to be too hot otherwise the meatballs will burn.
Prepare another tray with a paper towel on top. As the meatballs are ready place them on the paper towel.
You can eat these meatballs with a nice salad, steamed vegetables OR you can now place them in a crockpot with two cans of tomato sauce garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed chili pepper and allow them to cook slowly for about 6-8 hours. However you have them, it is required that you also have a bottle of red wine, too.
