Form into meatballs.
Fry Meatballs
Heat olive oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Olive oil should be about 1/2 inch deep for frying. Put the flour a plate. Once oil is hot enough, coat each meatball in flour. Fry meatballs in the frying pan a few at a time, turning them to ensure the meat is cooked through.
Remove meatballs from pan as they cook and place on a paper towel to absorb the extra oil.
Make the Parsley Sauce
Place bread crumbs, parsley and 1 cup of the bouillon into a large pot. Mix well. Turn heat on medium and add the rest of the broth and nuts. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add Meatballs to Parsley Sauce
Add the meatballs to the parsley sauce. Serve over rice or with home-fried potatoes.
