Kim Milan's Polpette

Authentic Italian meatballs made supremely tender with milk-soaked bread and sautéed onions, then gently simmered in tomato sauce

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding milk-soaked white bread prevents the meat from losing moisture during cooking, resulting in a very moist texture.
  • Before shaping all the meatballs, cook a small amount of the mixture in a pan to taste and adjust the salt precisely.
  • Knead the meat mixture thoroughly for at least 3–5 minutes until it becomes sticky; this prevents the meatballs from falling apart during simmering.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make meatballs that are golden on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.
  • Those who want to properly learn how to make tomato sauce to use in pasta or main dishes.
  • Those looking for a side dish for kids or a weekend home party dish.
