Big pork and prosciutto meatballs with polenta

William Meppem

Making meatballs is an exercise in comfort. There’s the therapeutic method of rolling the mince into polpetti-sized spheres or football-shaped kibbeh, and the assurance that the mixture of spices, seasoning and minced meat will produce winning results. We have meatballs of every size: petite as per our recipe for tiny chicken meatball and orzo soup with silverbeet and feta, or go large with our big pork and prosciutto meatballs served with creamy polenta.
