Steps:
- Put the meat in a mixing bowl.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Set aside and let cool briefly.
- Soak the bread crumbs in the milk and add this to the meat. Add the egg, cooked onions, salt and pepper. Add the marjoram and parsley and blend well.
- Divide the mixture into 14 portions and flatten each. Make a slight depression in the center of each meatball. Add an equal portion of the capers in the center of each. Bring up the edges and shape into balls, enclosing the capers in the center.
- Dredge each ball in flour and shake off excess.
- Heat the oil in a heavy, nonstick skillet and add the meatballs without crowding. Cook, turning carefully, until the meatballs are browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and cover closely. Let simmer 12 minutes. Serve with a little of the hot pan liquid spooned over.

[email protected]These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or bread crumbs.

[email protected]These Italian Meatballs with Capers were a delightful surprise! The capers added a tangy, briny flavor that perfectly complemented the savory meatballs. I served them over spaghetti with a simple tomato sauce, and the whole family loved it.
