Notes
The meatballs can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a day before cooking.
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
Ensure the broccoli is finely chopped to ensure even cooking and distribution within the meatball.
