About Polpetone
Polpetone is a traditional Italian dish, often described as a larger, heartier version of a meatball. Typically made from a mixture of ground beef or pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and a blend of fragrant herbs, it is shaped into a thick patty or loaf and sometimes stuffed with mozzarella or other cheeses. Polpetone is usually pan-seared and then baked or simmered in tomato sauce for added flavor. Originating in Southern Italy, it has become a comforting and versatile meal. While Polpetone offers a good source of protein, its nutritional content depends on preparation methods. Baking instead of frying can reduce added fat, while opting for leaner meats and whole-grain breadcrumbs can make it healthier. However, the cheese and sauce may contribute to higher saturated fat and sodium levels, making portion control key to balancing indulgence with overall nutrition.
