Sicilian Meatballs Recipe - Food.com image

Family recipe that goes way back. My mother said her uncle would always take a little of the meat and fry her a "hamburger" in the skillet as the rest were in the oven. It's a lot of work, but the results are way worth it. If you are going to make this, make a bunch and freeze it!!!! LOL

Total Time 1 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley
4 small garlic cloves
2 small onions
1/8 cup water
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Mince or press the garlic, and chop the parsley into fine pieces (or you can cut the measurement and use dried parsley flakes).
  • Grate the onion and place in a bowl.
  • Add all of the ingredients above, except for the olive oil, and mix together in the bowl.
  • Form balls into the size of golf balls and then dip your hand (or brush) in the oil and then rub it on the balls.
  • Place on cookie sheet and brown at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • I usually add these to my marinara sauce, but you can eat them many other ways as well!

Provided by Frank Falcinelli

Categories     Meatballs

Total Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

Two 28-ounce cans peeled Italian tomatoes, crushed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices of white sandwich bread
4 large eggs, beaten
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon minced marjoram
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1/2 cup dried currants
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Pour the tomatoes into a large enameled cast-iron casserole and crush them. Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, soak the bread in water until saturated. Squeeze out the water and transfer the bread to a large bowl. Mash the bread to a paste and stir in the eggs, garlic, parsley, marjoram, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mash until smooth. Add the chuck, currants, pine nuts and cheese and mix until combined. Add the bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, and knead until the mixture is firm enough to roll. Form the mixture into 36 meatballs (about 3 tablespoons each), tucking in the currants and pine nuts.
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the meatballs in 2 batches and fry over moderate heat, turning, until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to a plate. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve in bowls, passing more cheese at the table.

ORIGINAL RECIPE SICILIAN SUCCO (MEATBALLS & SAUCE) RECIPE ...
I was born in a small mining town in southern Illinois. The village had a predominate Italian population. Spaghetti was a staple part of their diet. The red marina sauce that they poured over the spaghetti was called succo. This was a time before air conditioning, and all the windows in their houses wee wide open during the summer time. If your nostrils caught a whiff of their succo cooking would make your taste buds dance. If that caught a whiff of their home made cheese, they would dance even harder. To taste a plate of this delicacy was a real thrill. My best friend was Italian, and we did our homework together. I had occasion to sample this delicious morsel frequently. When my friend’s mother placed a plate in front of me and said “mange,” I immediately became fluent in Italian. Over the years, I have craved this taste. I looked everywhere for a recipe, but there was none anywhere. I couldn’t have asked her for a recipe because she didn’t have one. She couldn’t explain to how to make it because she couldn’t speak English. She had brought the recipe from Sicily in her memory. I recalled some of the ingredients. I found a recipe site on the net that if you fed the ingredients it would construct recipes using these ingredients. I got close but not close enough. With the help of some Italian friends, I was finally able to construct a recipe of the greatest spaghetti in the world. This recipe is the fruits of my labor. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Note from UnknownChef86: This is a recipe I adopted in 2006.
