preparation
Cut the bread into small cubes and add to a bowl. Cover with lukewarm milk and set aside for 5 minutes to soak. Add ground meat to a large bowl. Add the chopped parsley, soaked bread, grated garlic and onion, grated lemon zest, and parmesan cheese. Add some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and shape into 18 polpette.

pan fry the polpette
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to a hot skillet and four polpettes (or more if there's enough space). Make sure they don't touch. Pan-fry for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat the process until you cook all the polpettes. Serve with your favorite side dish.
