About Pork and veal meatballs

Pork and Veal Meatballs are a savory blend of ground pork and veal, commonly seasoned with garlic, onion, herbs, breadcrumbs, and eggs for binding. This dish is a staple in Italian cuisine, often served with marinara sauce, pasta, or enjoyed as a hearty appetizer. The combination of pork and veal provides a rich flavor and tender texture. Nutritionally, these meatballs offer protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, vital for energy production and immune health. However, their fat content can be significant, particularly if made with higher-fat cuts of meat. Choosing leaner ground veal and pork or swapping breadcrumbs for whole-grain options can improve their health profile. Baked versions are also lower in calories compared to fried meatballs. A flavorful addition to many meals, they can be easily adjusted to fit a balanced diet with mindful preparation.
