Giuseppe’s Meatballs

Click here for the video recipe!

Ingredients:

• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, 1/4-inch dice
• Salt
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
• Pinch crushed red pepper
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground veal
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup Pecorino Romano
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock

Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, and heat the pan to medium high heat. Add the onions and season generously with salt. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are soft and with the slightest tint of yellow. Add the garlic and the crushed red pepper and saute for another 2 or so minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool.

In a large bowl combine the meats, eggs, Pecorino, parsley and bread crumbs. Squish the mixture with your hands then add the cooled onions and garlic from before and season generously with salt. Continue to mix until everything is blended together and then add the stock. Mix until the stock fully absorbed. The mixture should be soft and wet.

Do a quick taste test by making a half dollar sized patty and cooking it. The mixture should taste good, if it doesn't then it is needs more salt. Make sure to add more if it does.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Shape the meat into your desired size (I like making them small orange sized). Coat a large sauté pan with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Place them on an oven pan and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through. If using right away, add them to your pot of tomato sauce. Serve with pasta or make meatball subs with provolone cheese and the sauce.

Enjoy!
