Prep Time: 20 minutes.

Cook Time: 30 minutes.

1. Chop the Vegetables

   Mix the carrot, celery, garlic, and onion in a food processor until they are finely chopped.

2. Combine the Rest

   In a large bowl, combine meat, eggs, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese; adding enough milk and breadcrumbs (or soaked bread that has been very well squeezed and shredded) until the mixture is soft but not too wet.

3. Add the Vegetables

   Add the chopped vegetables to the meat mixture and mix very well with your hands or stir vigorously with a fork.

4. Shape the Mixture

   Shape mixture into flattened balls and roll them lightly in flour, just enough so the outside is coated. An 8″x8″ dish is recommended.

5. Cook at Medium Heat

   Grease a pan with extra virgin olive oil, then cook the meatballs at medium heat (do not deep fry). Turn the meatballs until each side is browned.

6. Sprinkle sweet Wine

   In the end, when the meatballs are cooked, sprinkle sweet wine, such as marsala, over the top and let the alcohol slowly evaporate until the meatballs are nicely glazed.
