Tips

- Instead of frying, you can bake the meatballs in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 15-20 minutes.
Instructions
- Prepare the Meatballs:
- In a bowl, soak the bread in milk. Once softened, squeeze out the excess milk and add the remaining meatball ingredients.
- Mix well with your hands to form a homogeneous mixture.
- Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls.
- Beat the extra egg with a pinch of salt, dip each ball in the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain on a paper towel.
- Prepare the Three Mayonnaises:
- Carrot Mayonnaise: Blend the cooked carrots, mustard, oil, lemon juice, and salt with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Mint Mayonnaise: Blend the mint leaves, mustard, egg, oil, lemon juice, and salt with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Garlic Mayonnaise: Blend the garlic clove, egg, oil, lemon juice, and salt with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Plate the Meatballs:
- Serve the bread meatballs with the three mayonnaises on the side.
- Garnish each meatball with an anchovy fillet on top.
