Meat Dumpling - (Pelota)

Recipe Ingredients

3 oz	85g	Veal or beef
3 oz	85g	Ham pieces (small)
2		Smoked bacon
1		Egg
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil - for frying
		Dry bread crumbs
		Salt and pepper - to taste
1		Nutmeg - optional
1		Ground cloves - optional

Recipe Instructions

Put the meat, ham, and bacon through the meat grinder. Add 1 raw egg and enough bread crumbs to make it possible to form a compact ball. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and ground clove.

Make an elongated dumpling, roll it in flour or more bread crumbs, fry it in hot olive oil, and put it in the pot with the meat to cook a half hour before serving.

The finer the meat is ground and the more the mixture is worked after the addition of bread crumbs and egg, the finer the dumpling will be.
