- Sprinkle your work surface with some bread crumbs.
- Roll about a cup of the meat mixture out into a log then cut into pieces about 1 tbsp for your mini meatballs and roll.
- Then place the pieces into a wire mesh strainer and sprinkle some more bread crumbs over them. Toss and roll the meatballs around in the strainer over a bowl and you’ll have lightly-coated, perfectly round meatballs.
- You can reuse the breadcrumbs in the bowl for the rest of the meatballs, then throw away the excess in the end.
