Tips and Variations
With the given quantities, you should make about 18-20 meatballs, depending on the size.
You can also make the meatballs with pork or veal.
You can omit the garlic if you don’t like it. You can season with herbs to taste, such as thyme, marjoram, or sage.
You can use sandwich bread, white bread, or whole grain bread. If you use stale bread, remove the crust and soften it with a bit of milk or broth.
To get the orange zest, I recommend this grater (#adv).
