Steps:
- In a large bowl add ground beef and crumble it with a wooden spoon or simply using your fingers.
- Add finely chopped shallot. I like to use a microplane grater as it extracts all the juices to go with the meat and minces the shallot really well.
- Add ground nutmeg, breadcrumbs, egg(s) and Parmesan cheese.
- Mix everything well with your hands.
- Slowly pour in the milk. Mix again until smooth and even texture.
- Add salt and pepper.
- If the mixture feels too dry add some more milk, if way too soft, almost liquid-y - add more breadcrumbs.
- An ideal meatball mix should be moist, easy to roll in your hands and hold the shape.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Pinch of about an ounce of meat and roll it between the palms of your hands giving it a smooth round shape with no cracks.
- With an ounce of meat you'll have medium size meatballs, think walnut size.
- Of course you can make your meatballs smaller or bigger, depending your preference.
- Place rolled meatballs on a baking sheet (see notes!).Line with parchment paper to avoid extra cleaning.Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- In a large skillet pan add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Add baked meatballs, tomato pure (clean the can/bottle with about a quarter cup water and add to the sauce).
- Add garlic cloves crushed with a flat knife, handful of fresh basil leaves and generous drizzle of dried oregano.
- Bring to simmer and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS/POLPETTE
My mom's friend who is Italian gave me a copy of her family cookbook that they had bound and published. It was a wedding shower gift that I treasure. As a newlywed I used this recipe a lot! I've been married 16 years and I make these with spaghetti, for meatball sandwiches, and smaller versions for appetizers to take in a crockpot to parties. Some friends think it is strange to put uncooked meatballs in the sauce, but that's what the recipe says to do. It cooks for a long time, and the meatballs keep their shape. I do not make my own spaghetti sauce. I buy two large jars of Ragu. No one seems to notice, or care!!Always a hit!!! Makes a lot and freezes well.

POLPETTE NAPOLETANE
Steps:
- Put the bread in a small mixing bowl, cover with milk, and leave to soak.
- Chop the parsley and garlic together. Put meat into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the milk out of the bread and add to meat. Add parsley and garlic. Use your hands to mix the ingredients. Break eggs into the mixture to bind it. Keep mixing. Add the pecorino. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Shape meatballs by hand, make a hole in the top and insert a small piece of mozzarella. Cover it up and pat meatball into shape. Roll them in bread crumbs. Pour olive oil into a frying pan and when it's really hot, fry the meatballs for 5 minutes, or until they have formed a crust. Then turn over. When golden brown and crusty on both sides remove the meatballs from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce, cover and cook very slowly on low heat for 45 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by half.
- Pour enough oil into a saucepan to cover the surface. Add garlic and 3 tins of tomatoes, mashing them slightly. Boil the sauce for 5 minutes and simmer for another 3 minutes.

POLPETTE
Mortadella (finely ground pork sausage with pieces of pistachio and spices) and a couple tablespoons of wine add tremendous depth of flavor to this traditional comfort food. Serve it with several vegetable side dishes, sparkling water, and a bottle of wine.From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

- Add the pork, veal, mortadella, onion, parsley, cheese, nuts, garlic, eggs, wine, salt, and pepper to the bread. Using your hand, mix to combine completely. Form into an oval-shaped loaf and place in a large baking dish. Cook for 55 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
POLPETTES
Delicious appetisers made basically with mashed potatoes and feta cheese and flavoured with lemon juice and dill. When I've made these, I've made small appetiser size polpettes, but they could be made larger and served as a delicious side dish with kebabs or any grilled meat or fish. I've adapted this recipe from a recipe I found in 'The Taste of Greece' and I'm posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. I made these probably two years ago, well before discovering Zaar, so although I had made a note of my modifications to the original recipe, I did not make a note of the preparation and cooking times, so what appears below are my guesstimates. All I remember is that they were very easy to make, delicious, devoured with enthusiasm by those to whom I served them, and that I was intrigued that I hadn't previously come across this recipe anywhere else. Nor have I seen it anywhere since then!

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes in their skins in lightly salted water until soft; drain, then peel while still warm; place in a bowl and mash.
- Crumble the feta cheese into the potatoes and add the spring onion, garlic, dill, ground almonds, egg and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remember that feta is salty, so taste the mixture before adding the salt. Stir well so that al the ingredients are well combined.
- Cover the mixture and chill until it is firm; then divide the mixture into walnut-size balls, then flatten them slightly.
- Lightly coat the polpettes with flour; heat the oil in a pan, preferably non-stick and sauté the polpettes until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
