BEST EVER ITALIAN MEATBALLS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Best Ever Italian Meatballs Recipe - Food.com image

This is a recipe I was given from a lady from Italy. She told me that the secret of mouth watering meatballs is not to cook them before adding them to the sauce, as cooking them in the sauce will not only add more flavor to the sauce, but also to the meatballs. What I do is make these a day ahead of time, with my sauce. Then, I refrigerate it over-night, which makes any fat rise to the top and harden, where it is easily removed. This process also allows all of the flavors to "marry" together, making it especially delicious!

Total Time 1 hours 55 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Yield 16 Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons anise seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs.
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering sauce. It is important not to stir the sauce for at least 25 minutes. This will allow the meatballs to firm up enough as not to break up in the sauce. Make sure your burner is low enough so that your sauce does not scorch during this process.
  • Continue simmering until sauce reaches desired consistency and meatballs are cooked through.

    1. Wrap the crackers in a tea towel and smash up until fine, breaking up any big bits with your hands, then tip into a large bowl.
    2. Pick and finely chop the rosemary, then add to the bowl with the mustard, minced meat and oregano.
    3. Crack the egg into the bowl, then add a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
    4. With clean hands, scrunch and mix everything up well. Divide into 4 large and balls, then with wet hands divide each ball into 6 and roll into little meatballs – you should end up with 24.
    5. Place the meatballs onto a plate, drizzle with oil and jiggle about to coat, then cover and place in the fridge until needed – this will help to firm them up.
    6. Pick the basil leaves, keeping any smaller ones to one side for later. Peel and finely chop the onion and the garlic, and trim and finely slice or crumble the chilli.
    7. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the onion and cook for 7 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.
    8. Add the garlic and chilli, and as soon as they start to get some colour add the large basil leaves.
    9. Tip in the the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a spoon, then add the balsamic vinegar, and season to taste. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer until needed, stirring regularly.
    10. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan over a medium heat, add the meatballs and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through, turning regularly To check if they’re cooked, cut one opening – there should be no sign of pink.
    11. Once cooked, add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer while you cook the pasta.
    12. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water. Return the pasta to the pan.
    13. Spoon half the tomato sauce over the pasta and toss together, adding a little splash of reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed
    14. Transfer to a large platter or divide between bowls, serving the remaining sauce and meatballs on top. Add a fine grating of Parmesan and scatter over the reserved basil, then tuck in.
