- Add the beef, veal, pork, egg nutmeg, salt, pepper, and onions Gently combine the ingredients with your hands.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for a couple of hours.
- Shape the meat mixture with your hands into uniform 2/3-inch Arrange them on a plate in one layer so they do not touch each other. Let the meatballs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Melt the remaining butter in a sauté pan or skillet over When the foam starts to subside, add the meatballs. (Do not crowd the pan; unless your pan is oversized, you will have to cook gthe meatballs in batches and keep the cooked ones warm in a preheated 200 degree F oven.) Sauté the meatballs for about 5 minutes until they become brown on all sides. Turn them as necessary, but do so gently.
