Meatballs make the perfect dish for a Monday night supper, a Saturday night dinner party or a Sunday feast. And here are meatballs like you've never seen them before- Meatballs rustico, super easy and devoured with a slice of crusty bread; Seared beef carpaccio meatballs, best eaten with a glass of Prossecco in hand; deluxe Pork, fennel and orange meatballs; Veal marsala meatballs; and Lobster meatballs. In Meatball by Matteo Bruno there are meatball recipes for lamb, goat, rabbit, chicken, fish, lobster and venison. There are even vegetarian (meat)balls- Corn and quinoa, Chickpea and cauliflower, Tofu with mushroom. Almost as important as the meatball itself (and there are 60 meatball recipes), is what the meatball sits on. Here are 20 ideas for sotte palle (literally 'underneath the balls') including Creamy polenta, Roasted pumpkin, Wasabi slaw and Cheesy bread. Serve with Aioli, Gorgonzola or Creamy mushroom sauce (just three of the 20 iopetions), top with a sprinkle of Truffle salt or Crushed pistachios- and tuck in.
