The snack in a sphere

CarloCarlo Monti

I don't know if it can be considered a “90s dish”, from the period in which c&' Ritmo, Fiat Uno, Renault 19 were out and about, the boys were running the Walkman and Willy The Prince of Bel Air was the closest thing to a dream life you could see on TV, but even today tuna and ricotta meatballs are a quick and easy appetizer to prepare, also perfect as a second course.

This is a cheap and simple version of the classic fish balls, which also offers an alternative way to enjoy tuna under &' oil, a versatile and precious ingredient that everyone has in the pantry!
The crunchiness of the breading is optimally combined with the softness of the &' interior, obtained thanks to the mixture of tuna and ricotta, embellished with the flavor of capers and anchovies.

Two tricks a bit' gourmet (from The Prince of Bel Air we move on to the beginning of those cooking broadcasts like “The Chef's Test”)
a. in addition to using the classic ricotta, also add a grated piece of smoked ricotta
b. as a combination use mayonnaise with Paccasassi (Paccasassi are a &' typical sea grass of Conero) and in this way l&' the combination of tuna and maize is even more pleasant!


I forgot: if you want to try the recipe for tuna and ricotta meatballs, we recommend that you prepare plenty of them because they will be snapped up!
