2.) Finely chop the onions, garlic, and fresh green parsley, then blend them seamlessly into the finely ground meat mixture.
3.) Now, into the finely minced meat, we introduce two eggs, along with a tantalizing blend of salt, pepper, sweet paprika, rosemary, and the golden touch of turmeric.
4.) We thoroughly blend the mixture and gradually add breadcrumbs until we achieve a harmonious and uniform consistency.
5.) We shape these delectable meatballs and lovingly arrange them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
