Cooking Tips

• Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the wild garlic before adding it to the mixture to prevent the polpette from becoming too wet.
• To make the polpette ahead of time, you can shape them into balls and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking.
• Leftover polpette can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• You can also serve them as a main course with pasta or a side of salad.
