About Polpetas
Polpetas are a traditional dish originating from Italian cuisine, resembling small, flavorful meatballs typically made from ground meat such as beef, pork, or a combination of the two. They are mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese, then seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. Polpetas can be baked, fried, or simmered in tomato sauce, making them a versatile addition to pasta dishes or served on their own. While rich in protein from the meat and calcium from the cheese, polpetas can also be high in saturated fat, especially if fried or made with fattier cuts of meat. For a healthier option, they can be made using lean ground meat, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and baked instead of fried. Polpetas are a comforting and customizable dish that fits well within a balanced diet when prepared with attention to healthier ingredients.
