About Calf meatballs
Calf meatballs are tender, flavorful morsels crafted from ground veal, often blended with breadcrumbs, eggs, and herbs like parsley and oregano, then seasoned with garlic, onion, and a touch of salt and pepper. They are a versatile dish rooted in European culinary traditions, particularly Italian cuisine, where they are often paired with marinara sauce and pasta. Calf meat is a lean protein source, rich in essential nutrients like vitamin B12, zinc, and iron, which contribute to muscle health and energy metabolism. However, the preparation and accompaniments can influence their nutritional profile—deep-frying or generous additions of cream-based sauces can increase the calorie and fat content. Opting for baking or steaming the meatballs with minimal added fats can make them a healthier choice while preserving their delicate flavor and satisfying texture. Perfect as a main dish or appetizer, calf meatballs are a delicious balance of taste and nutrition.
