Divine meatballs are a delicious appetizer made with tuna in oil, ricotta, and hard-boiled eggs. Soft and succulent, these meatballs are perfect to enjoy during an aperitif or as a starter at lunch or dinner. The tuna in oil gives an intense and enveloping flavor, while the ricotta makes the meatballs light and creamy. Lemon juice, capers, and mayonnaise add a touch of freshness and acidity. A simple dish to prepare but with a surprising result!
Using a blender, blend together a peeled hard-boiled egg, the tuna (previously drained), capers, ricotta, softened butter, and lemon juice.
Then season and pepper the obtained mixture and place it in a large bowl, which you will keep in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
In the meantime, peel the other eggs, slice them, and arrange them on a flat serving plate. Then take the mixture out of the refrigerator and with the palm of your hands, create small balls and place them on the slices of hard-boiled eggs.
Finally, decorate them with curls of mayonnaise and serve.
Tip: To make your dish more appealing, you could line it with large lettuce leaves and add capers or slices of pitted black olives on the mayonnaise curls.
