GRILLED!
Sicilian Grilled Meatballs, or Polpettine alla Griglia: One usually thinks of meatballs going into a sauce of some kind, or being fried to golden perfection. However, Sicilians also grill them, and very fine eating it is, too.
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/4 pounds (1 k) boned veal or pork, ground.
5 ounces (125 g) pecorino Siciliano (if possible the variety with pepper corns in it, if not a mild Romano), freshly gra
1 cup bread crumbs, moistened in milk and then squeezed dry
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt & pepper
Organically grown lemon or orange leaves, lightly oiled
Wooden toothpicks
PREPARATION:
Combine all the ingredients except the leaves in a bowl and mix well. Roll the meat mixture into balls a little smaller than a ping pong ball, flatten them slightly, wrap a leaf around each, and hold the leaf in place by sticking it with a toothpick.
When you have finished making your meatballs, grill them to taste.
Some people also include grated lemon or orange zest or juice (or both) in the filling.

If you're making the meatballs to put into a sauce and you don't need them to look browned, you can just bake them.
However, if you want the meatballs to show and have a nice browned look, fry them first in a saute pan with a little oil or non-stick cooking spray until they are browned on all sides, and then bake them to finish cooking all the way through.

Are you making homemade meatballs? If you are making homemade ones, you should form the meatball after you season the meat and then have a pot with beef broth in it and drop your formed meatballs in the broth and cook for about 15 minutes. If you have store bought ones bake them.

surely, bake them at approximately 350 for around 20 minutes. it rather is recommended to educate them one million/2 way. Do examine them for doneness as this might selection in line with length and your oven. I in no way pan fry my meatballs.

both. Fry to get some color and to get rid of some of the grease. Bake to finish the cooking process.
