Citrus meatballs are a delicious variant of classic meatballs. Made with veal, fresh sausage, and flavored with orange juice and lemon zest, these meatballs are full of flavor and slightly citrusy. They are perfect for a tasty and original main dish!
Soak the raisins in a bowl filled with warm water, coarsely chop the pine nuts, and remove the skin from the sausage, crumbling it with a fork.
Then, in a non-stick pan, sauté the veal for a few minutes with olive oil, then add the sausage and continue cooking for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
Next, place the sautéed and drained meat in a bowl and add the eggs, 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs, pine nuts, drained and dried raisins, and the zest of 1 single orange.
Mix all the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture, and with the palm of your hands, form meatballs that you will roll several times in breadcrumbs.
Finally, place them in a greased baking dish with olive oil and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally.
In the meantime, juice the oranges and warm the extracted juice in a small saucepan.
