Fried Meat Patties (Polpette Fritte)

These savory little patties are a beloved staple across Basilicata, having travelled north from Sicily. The combination of salty parmesan and succulent pork is balanced by the sudden, sweet burst of raisins and the crunch of toasted pine nuts. They are best served hot as a rustic snack or scaled down in size to make an elegant addition to a party platter.
