To assemble

1. 4
   Heat the pan over medium heat and drizzle the olive oil over it.

   💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
2. 5
   Fry the meatballs 4–5 minutes per side, until they are browned.

   Stove

   💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
3. 6
   Serve in a bun with fresh vegetables.
