How to prepare tuna meatballs with anchovies and capers
Put the diced bread in the milk and leave it to soak.
When the bread is well wet, squeeze it carefully.
Put the drained tuna, the capers, the pitted olives, the cherry tomatoes cut in half, the anchovies, the parsley, the extra virgin olive oil and the salt in the mixer.
Chop everything well to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Put the mixture in a bowl, add the soaked and squeezed bread, 1 egg and, if necessary, some breadcrumbs, then mix and leave to rest for a few minutes.
At this point form the meatballs with your hands, pass them in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs.
Pour the seed oil into a pan and when it is hot, dip the meatballs in it.
Fry them until golden brown and serve immediately.
