Our ‘cucina povera’ (or ‘poor cuisine’) here in the South of Italy offers many great ideas for simple, easy to make dishes and this is a unique recipe that has long been cooked in my family. In the past, many people couldn’t afford to buy meat too often and so they created amazing things like this using only breadcrumbs and eggs. My mamma made this and my nonna before her…now it’s your turn!

***TIPS***
1. Even though my ancestors didn’t have this option, if you like, you can add some cooked ham and mozzarella cheese!
2. When making your breadcrumbs for this, only use the soft part of the bread! Don’t use the crusts!
3. Peanut oil is the best oil to use for this dish, although any vegetable oil can work. Make sure the oil is a good temperature for frying before adding your breadballs. If it’s too hot, it will burn the outside and leave the inside raw – so be careful!
Buon appetito!
