03 Method

Step 1

Place Meatball ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. If it’s too wet to form balls, add a touch of extra breadcrumbs or refrigerate.
Step 2

Scoop up a heaped tablespoon and with slightly wet hands, roll into balls.
Step 3

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the meatballs and cook for 4 minutes, browning all over but still raw inside. Remove onto a plate, repeat with remaining meatballs.
Step 4

Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel. Reduce heat to medium.
Step 5

Melt butter in the skillet, then adds flour. Mix and cook for 1 minute, then add lemon juice, chicken broth, and cream.
Step 6

Bring to simmer then add meatballs. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 7

Stir through parsley and capers. I like serving this with pasta with more parmesan cheese!
