Combine the vegetables, now cooked, in a bowl and mash them with a fork, add the grated cheese, the capers, well drained and patted dry with kitchen paper, the egg, the peeled thyme, 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper and mix everything well, if the mixture is still moist add a little more breadcrumbs.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes, then with slightly moistened hands form meatballs by placing a couple of cubes of scamorza cheese in the centre, then coat them well in the bread and arrange them on a tray.
Pour a thin layer of oil on the bottom of a pan and once hot, add the meatballs and brown them on all sides over low heat.
Drain them on kitchen paper, and serve piping hot with the radicchio seasoned with a pinch of salt and the caper leaves with their oil.
