Preparation of Raw Meat Balls
For the preparation of this dish, you need to get some very fresh high-quality raw meat.
Place the minced raw meat in a bowl.
Add the chopped garlic cloves, salt, and extra virgin olive oil.
Mix well: the oil should be well absorbed by the meat, which should not be too dry or too oily.
Add the pepper and the juice of half a lemon and mix well.
At this point, form balls with your hands. Mine weighed about 12 – 15 g each.
Round them well and roll them in grated cheese.
Place them one by one on a tray or serving dish, spacing them apart.
Finish the dish with small bunches of arugula and Parmesan flakes, and serve.
Enjoy your meal and … see you next recipe!
Mani in frolla recommends
Since raw meat with lemon tends to darken, I recommend preparing the balls at the moment to enjoy them in all their freshness.
An extra touch
For a more refined dish, sprinkle the meat balls with thin slices of white Alba truffle or season with truffle-flavored oil … you’ll taste an incredible flavor!
