Nonna Gina’s Meatballs

No need to wist; thanks to the handiwork of a Nonna and an Oma, this lost fare may be re-created with ease.

Ingredients

500 g pork mince

Parsley (handful and chopped)

4 slices stale bread (soaked in water, then squeezed dry)

2 cloves garlic

Pepper/salt to taste

5-6 tbsp Parmesan cheese, or Pecorino Romano

1 large egg

Olive oil for frying

Method

Mix all ingredients, roll into walnut sized balls and fry in olive oil until golden brown. They are delicious. Serve hot or cold. And eat in loving memory of Gina Ursino: Vino’s sister’s, husband’s mother.
