A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful Italian meatballs, perfect for any occasion.
Soak the bread crumbs in the milk for a few minutes until softened.
Using fresh bread crumbs can enhance the texture of the meatballs.
Combine the ground beef, soaked bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, allspice, salt, black pepper, and egg in a large bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Using slightly wet hands can prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the meatballs to prevent sticking.
Cook the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the meatballs hot with your favorite tomato sauce.
Garnish with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese for a touch of elegance.
