Then take small amounts of the mixture and form round meatballs in the palm of your hand. Make a hole in the center of each meatball. Fill with a small piece of cheese to fill the olive pit gap.
Put a little more mixture on top to close the meatballs. Fry the meatballs with the olive oil, turning them often, and then drizzle with white wine. Cook with lid on for about ten to fifteen minutes over medium heat. Decorate with rosemary sprigs.
