- Beat the eggs and add them to the mixture.
- Shape the balls by hand or with a small tool, then roll them in breadcrumbs and start heating the oil in a pan.
- Fry the meatballs until they turn golden brown and place them aside in a pan.
- To prepare the sauce, strain the oil used for frying and sauté finely chopped onion in it.
- Crush some more garlic with a parsley leaf in a mortar, add a splash of white wine, and pour this into the onion once the alcohol reduces slightly. Add the mixture to the pot with the minced meatballs.
- Add enough water to cover the meat and season with salt. Simmer on low heat, covered, for about 25 minutes, shaking occasionally to prevent sticking.
