Preparation steps

1.

Soak the roll in the warm milk, squeeze and tear into bite-sized pieces. Mix with the ground veal, veal sausage and egg in a bowl. Rinse the anchovies well and finely chop. Peel the onion and finely chop. Heat butter in a pan and sauté the onions until translucent. Add onions, parsley and lemon zest to the ground meat mixture. Knead mixture until smooth, season with salt and pepper and shape into about 16 meatballs. Bring the broth to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, add the meatballs and gently simmer for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove meatballs.

2.

Heat the butter in a wide saucepan, sprinkle with flour and cook. Gradually stir in the broth. Stir in the capers, lemon juice, cream and wine. Season with salt, sugar and pepper. Let simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fold the egg yolks into the finished sauce without allowing it to boil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the meatballs with caper sauce sprinkled with parsley. Serve with boiled potatoes, if desired.
