Lemon leaf meatballs are a traditional Italian dish. The ground meat is flavored with grated lemon, Parmesan cheese and garlic, then shaped into small meatballs. The meatballs are cooked in a pan with extra-virgin olive oil until golden and served wrapped in a delightful lemon leaf, which gives the dish a unique flavor.
Prepare the meatballs by combining the ground meat with garlic, salt, pepper, Parmesan, oil and the grated zest of half a lemon; shape them and fold them like a wallet.
Place them on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.
