Calories: 40 calories per meatball

Ingredients

• 750 g of cabbage
• 300 g of potatoes
• 50 g of breadcrumbs
• 25 gr of corn starch
• 5 g of salt
• a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
• Just enough chopped fresh parsley
• Just enough pepper

Preparation

1. To start, clean your cabbage, then remove the central stem ( which is particularly hard ) and the outer leaves, then wash it properly.
2. Done, peel the potatoes and cut them into logs, then transfer them together with the cabbage into a pot of boiling water and cook them.
3. As soon as the vegetables are ready, drain them, wait for them to cool down and then using a fork, mash them, obtaining a mixture with a homogeneous consistency.
4. Now add the cornstarch, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and pepper to your “puree”, then mix everything together so that the ingredients blend well with each other.
5. At this point you can start making your meatballs, so after rolling them up, crush them lightly with your hands.
6. Now line a baking sheet with baking paper, place the meatballs on it and give them a nice brush with extra virgin olive oil.
7. Finally put them to cook in a preheated oven at a temperature of 220°C for 25 minutes.
8. Once ready, take them out of the oven, then wait for them to cool down before bringing them to the table, because this way you will certainly taste them better.
