Description

The meatballs with artichokes are a great way to get children to eat vegetables with taste and without whims.

Great for an aperitif but also perfect for lunch at the office, meatballs with artichokes are like cherries in spring: one leads to another!

Preparing these meatballs is simple, the only slightly more demanding step is that of cleaning the artichokes which you can entrust to your trusted greengrocer.

So here is the recipe for these fabulous meatballs with artichokes!

Procedure

Get the hearts of the artichokes and cut them into wedges. In a large pan, fry a clove of garlic and a sprig of parsley, then add the artichokes, adjust with salt and pepper and finally add a glass of water. When the artichokes have dried and become soft, let them cool and then chop them finely with a knife.

Put the artichokes in a bowl, add the Trito & Co, a piece of stale bread that you have softened in water or milk and then squeezed, salt, pepper, a fine chop of fresh parsley, the grated cheese and the egg. Mix and blend well the ingredients.

At this point with your hands form meatballs of medium size. Then fry them in plenty of boiling oil and, when they are golden and crispy on the outside, drain them on paper for fried foods.

Suggestions

If you don't have enough minced meat, you can still make the meatballs by adding to the dough leftovers of a good roast left over, of a BonRoll prepared for a special occasion or of the meat of capon left over from the preparation of the broth.

If you like, you can flavor the already fried meatballs in a simple tomato sauce: this is for lovers of the scarpetta!

For a lighter version of meatballs with artichokes, instead, put the meatballs on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
