Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Soak the crustless bread in white wine for about 5 minutes until soft. Squeeze out excess liquid and break into pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, lean ground beef, egg, parsley, oregano, cumin, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until incorporated.
- Add the soaked bread to the meat mixture and knead gently to combine.
- Shape into approximately 15 oval meatballs, each weighing around 65-70 grams. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear meatballs for about 4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Remove cooked meatballs and drain excess oil using paper towels.
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add flour and stir, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add hot water or stock and lemon juice, whisking until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Return meatballs to the skillet, cover, and let them simmer for 20 minutes over low heat, turning occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings before serving. Garnish with pepper and oregano.
