Method

  1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken and veal with pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, and grated lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
  2. With wet hands, shape the mixture into meatballs the size of a large olive.
  3. Heat abundant olive oil in a pan over high heat. Fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides, then remove them from the pan.
  4. Finely chop a clove of garlic and add it to the pan with rosemary. Sauté briefly.
  5. Deglaze with red wine and balsamic vinegar, and let the alcohol evaporate.
  6. Add a splash of water and let the sauce simmer. Remove the rosemary sprigs.
  7. In a small bowl, mix rice flour with a little water to make a slurry. Add to the pan and stir until the sauce thickens.
  8. Return the meatballs to the pan, coat them with the sauce, and serve.
