Cold polenta is a versatile and tasty ingredient, perfect for being transformed into delicious meatballs. We start by taking the leftover polenta, which can be from a previous meal or specially prepared for this recipe. We cut it into small cubes and place it in a large bowl. Here, we add the eggs - 1 or 2, depending on the amount of polenta we have. The goal is to obtain a homogeneous mixture that allows us to form the meatballs. The eggs not only help bind the ingredients but also add a pleasant flavor. Next, we will add the freshly chopped parsley, which will provide an extra freshness and aroma. It is essential to use fresh parsley, as it enhances both the appearance and taste of the dish. We continue by adding grated cheese, which can be cottage cheese, feta, or any other preferred type. The cheese will bring a pleasant creaminess and a rich taste to the meatballs. Let’s not forget the spices! We add salt and pepper to taste, being careful not to overdo it, as the cheese may already be salty. After mixing all the ingredients well, we prepare to form the meatballs. With wet hands, we take a portion of the mixture and shape them into balls or small patties. It is important that they are uniform in size to cook evenly. Once we have finished shaping all the meatballs, we pass them through flour, then through beaten egg, and finally through breadcrumbs. This process will ensure a crispy and golden crust when frying. In a deep skillet, we heat the oil until it becomes hot. We carefully place the meatballs in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd them, so they fry evenly. We fry them until they become golden and crispy, then remove them onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. These meatballs can be served alongside juicy steaks, saucy dishes, or even on their own, accompanied by a fresh tomato sauce. Their taste is so delicious that they will surely become a favorite at the table. Enjoy your meal!
