Steps

1
Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then mash it to a paste.
2
Add the pork, beef, egg, 1 garlic clove, 2 tbsp of the parsley, 1 tsp of salt and some pepper, mix lightly with your hands and roll into about 24 balls the size of a walnut.
3
Roll the meatballs lightly in the flour. Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and brown them in batches for 5 minutes. Set aside.
4
Add the remaining oil and the onion and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes until soft, then add the rest of the garlic and the paprika for 30 seconds.
5
Pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, season and simmer for 10 minutes.
6
Return the meatballs, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes, until cooked through; the flour on them thickens the sauce.
7
Scatter with the remaining parsley and serve hot, straight from the pan.
