Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Soak the bread rolls in water. Dice the onions. Place the ground meat, softened bread rolls (squeeze well!), onions, eggs, and parsley in a bowl and knead well. Season everything well with salt, pepper, and Maggi (don’t laugh, that’s the trick). Heat clarified butter in a pan, form meatballs (not too hot), and fry for about 10-15 minutes. “This recipe came to me from my grandmother to my mother. My mother and I once had a meatball cooking contest. My father was the judge. My mother sautéed the onions, I didn’t. My father didn’t think twice and declared my meatballs the better ones, which earned him a truly insulted and venomous look from my mother.”
