Michael Symon Pork-Ricotta Meatballs

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, soak the bread in the milk. After the bread has thoroughly absorbed the milk, remove it from the bowl, squeezing out any excess liquid with your hands.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the pork, soaked bread, ricotta, garlic, shallot, parsley, lemon zest, coriander, cinnamon, and salt.

3. 3

   Mix with your hands to combine. Form into meatballs using 1/3 cup of the mixture for each one. It is easiest to form meatballs with slightly damp hands.

4. 4

   You should have about 12 to 15 meatballs.

5. 5

   In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Remove to a large bowl, garnish with the basil leaves, and top with the Parmesan cheese.
