Then drain them and leave them in the colander overnight.
After this time, place them on a cutting board and cut them into pieces,
transfer them to a bowl, add 2 eggs, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 clove of garlic, a bunch of chopped parsley, 1 oz of Pecorino or Parmesan, a small grind of pepper.

In a pan, put some extra virgin olive oil and heat it, then take the mixture by spoonfuls and put it in the pan.
