Tips and Variations

I used a mix of green olives and Taggiasca olives. You can also use Greek olives or black olives, as long as they are not too strong in taste.

For the mixture, you can use sandwich bread, sliced bread, tramezzino bread, or stale bread crumbs.

You can season with other herbs, like thyme or oregano.

If you prefer to fry the meatballs in a pan, the mixture should be a bit less soft, so add breadcrumbs.
