Polpettine Alla Griglia (Sicilian Lemon Grilled Meatballs) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 kg ground pork or 1 kg veal
125 g ground pecorino siciliano cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs, soaked 3 minutes in milk and the excess squeezed out
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
organically grown lemons or orange leaves, rubbed with olive oil
Optional
lemons or orange juice

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients except the leaves, and make many slightly flattened meatballs small enough that you can wrap each in a leaf (use a toothpicks or skewers to keep them rolled).
Grill the meatballs until done and squeeze with lemon before serving. (The leaves are not edible, so you may wish to wrap the leaves in a manner that will be quick to unwrap.).
