Veal meatballs are a savory, protein-rich dish often rooted in Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. They are typically made from ground veal, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Veal, sourced from young calves, provides a tender texture and mild flavor that forms the foundation of this recipe. These meatballs are often baked, fried, or simmered in marinara sauce, adding richness and depth to the dish. Veal is a good source of high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins like B12, which support energy levels and overall health. However, veal meatballs can be high in saturated fat and sodium, especially if additional cheese or salt is used. Pairing them with a balanced side like whole-grain pasta or a vegetable medley can make them a more nutritious choice while enhancing their traditional appeal.
