This meatball recipe is just the beginning. I often double the recipe and store the unused meatballs in the freezer.
Meatballs
Makes approx 8 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil
Directions
Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic,
eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water
1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if
rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into
meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook meatballs in batches.
When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and
drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while
they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)
