Meatballs: The Ultimate Guide

by Matteo Bruno

Meatballs make the perfect dish for a Monday night supper or a Saturday night dinner party; and here are meatballs like you've never seen them before. Seared beef carpaccio meatballs, or deluxe pork with fennel and orange. Here we have meatballs for lamb, beef, goat, rabbit, veal, chicken, fish, lobster, pork and venison. There are even vegetarian (meat)balls—corn and quinoa, chickpea and cauliflower. Almost as important as the meatball itself is what the meatball sits on. Here are 20 ideas for sotte palle (literally "underneath the balls") including creamy polenta, roasted pumpkin, wasabi slaw, and cheesy bread. Serve with a aioli, gorgonzola or creamy mushroom sauce (three of the 20 options), top with truffle salt or crushed pistachios, and start eating! Includes dual measures.
