Step 3
Meanwhile, grate half of an onion on a fine grater directly into the meat mixture, add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Thoroughly beat the meat mixture by taking it in your hand and throwing it back into the bowl. This is done to remove air bubbles and bind the meat fibers together. If you don't want to beat it, mix in the egg white from a chicken egg. Without these two steps, the meatballs may fall apart in hot broth. Then shape the mixture into small round balls.
