Instructions
Cook the garlic in a little olive oil or butter over medium-low heat until it is translucent but not colored. Reduce the meat to a rough paste in a mortar or food processor, and place it in a large bowl. Soften the bread in a little milk or water for a few minutes, then squeeze out most of the liquid and add the bread to the meat, along with the garlic, cheese, parsley, other herbs, eggs, and salt and pepper.
Form the seasoned meat into polpette, which is to say balls about the size of a small mandarin orange and similarly flattened; roll them in breadcrumbs. (The bread-coated, uncooked polpette can be held in the refrigerator for a few hours until mealtime.) Brown them in butter or oil over medium heat, turning, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Add the broth, stock, or tomato sauce, and simmer to lightly reduce the liquid to a sauce, turning the polpette again.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
