Knead all the ingredients for about 10 minutes. Wrap it in cling film, put it in the fridge and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

Give the rested meatballs a round shape with your hands. Prepare meatballs about 1 cm thick without thinning too much.
-
Heat a cast iron pan and grease it with 1 tablespoon of oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.
-
Put the pan on medium heat, line up the meatballs and grill them for 2-3 minutes from one side to the other. Meanwhile, grill a few tomatoes and green peppers along with the meatballs in a hot pan.

Get your meatballs off the grill. Without waiting, plate and serve hot, garnished with french fries, mashed potatoes or eggplant toppings with grilled tomatoes and peppers. Bon Appetit!
