About Polpette
Polpette, or Italian meatballs, are a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, often served as a comforting main course or side. Traditionally, Polpette are made by blending ground meats such as beef, pork, or veal with breadcrumbs, eggs, grated cheese like Parmesan, garlic, parsley, and seasonings for flavor. Sometimes, milk is added for extra tenderness. Typically pan-fried or baked and served with tomato sauce or on their own, Polpette can vary regionally in ingredients and preparation style. From a nutritional standpoint, Polpette provide a good source of protein and essential vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc from the meat. However, they can be calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, depending on the choice of meats and cooking method. Opting for leaner meats and baking rather than frying can make them a healthier option, while pairing them with fresh vegetables or a side salad adds nutritional balance.
