Celery Meatballs paired with Diva

Chef Benedetta recommends the following pairing for Il Peraccio’s Diva
Celery Meatballs

Ingredients:
Extra virgin olive oil
4 celery stalks
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs
Seed oil for frying
Salt

Recipe:
Cut the 4 stalks of celery into fairly small pieces.
Put a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan and add the chopped celery.
Cook for 5 minutes and add a pinch of salt.
When the celery is cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Add one egg, four small tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and four small tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the celery and mix everything together with a fork.

Mix one egg in a separate dish.

Form meatballs from the celery mixture prepared earlier, dip them in the beaten egg,
then coat the meatballs in breadcrumbs and fry them in seed oil.
Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
Pair with a nice glass of Diva!
Enjoy!
