Chef's Notes
Do not skip the anchovies! They do not make the dish taste like fish; instead, they melt into the meat and provide an unmistakable, deep umami backbone that elevates these meatballs from ordinary to legendary.
Pro Tip
Always wet your hands with cold water before rolling the meat mixture. It acts as an invisible shield that prevents the sticky proteins from welding to your skin.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you fail to temper your roux with the warm broth while whisking wildly, you will instantly create a lumpy, wallpaper-paste disaster that will haunt your culinary dreams for weeks.

Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
