Italian “Polpette di Lesso” ~ or meatballs mad Italian “Polpette di Lesso” ~ or meatballs made with boiled meats instead of raw ~ are an ingeniously way to repurpose meats leftover from homemade broth making that are usually discarded. I prepared these flattened meatballs with the boiled chicken and beef from the broth I made for my recent Classic Italian Soups class. Chopped finely and mixed with mashed boiled potato, bread, milk and bound with egg and Parmigiano, the meatballs/patties are formed, coated in breadcrumbs and fried until deep golden and crisp on the outside and soft and savory on the inside. Served as is or to dip in a zesty tomato sauce, these are often served with a pre-dinner glass of wine or ~ as per their origin during lean times ~ a poor man’s protein-rich second course. 

Italians are famous for “l’arte di arrangiarsi” (the art of making do) and know how to stretch ingredients to produce multiple meals. It’s an art that was born out of necessity and perfected by savvy, creative cooks 💚.
