Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 12 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ounce garlic, minced
1 ounce kosher salt
1 ounce oregano, minced
1 ounce parsley, minced
1 ounce Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
1 whole egg
6 ounces ground beef
6 ounces ground pork
6 ounces ground veal
Grape seed oil, for searing
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced or minced
1 large onion yellow, diced
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 cups minced or grated carrots
3 tablespoons thyme leaves, minced
30 ounces whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
1 cup chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a bowl, blend the garlic, salt, oregano, parsley, Tomato Sauce and egg, mixing well with a whisk. Next, by hand, add the ground beef, pork and veal, mixing well, ensuring not to over-mix. After mixing, portion the meatballs to desired size, 1 1/2 to 2 ounces, then allow to rest in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. This will allow the meatballs to bind.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Over medium-high heat, add enough grape seed oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet. Sear the meatballs until browned, 2 to 3 minutes each side. After searing, finish the meatballs in the oven until cooked through. This time will vary according to the size of the meatballs
  • Over medium-high heat, add the olive oil to a saucepan and heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until the onions soften. Next, add the wine, deglazing the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the carrots and thyme, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, add the tomatoes and their juices, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the basil and continue to cook over a low heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Season to taste and remove from the heat.

MEATBALLS AND TOMATO SAUCE



Meatballs and Tomato Sauce image

Any type of ground meat will work with this recipe, but a blend of pork and beef will yield the best results. Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta and freeze any leftovers in the sauce; they can be reheated for meatball sandwiches.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Yield Makes thirty 1 1/2-inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup milk
2 slices best-quality bread, crusts removed
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (use 1 teaspoon if Parmesan is substituted for the Romano)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Two 28-ounce cans best-quality whole tomatoes, pulsed with juices in a blender
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk. Soak the bread in the milk, turning the slices over to absorb it. Cool and mince the bread. Place it in a large bowl. Add the meats, garlic, onion, eggs, cheese, parsley, pepper, and salt. Using clean hands, mix together until completely combined.
  • Have a rimmed baking sheet or platter ready. Roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. (If you periodically run cold water over your hands, the meat won't stick to them as you roll.) If you have time, chill the raw meatballs to firm them up.
  • Heat a 14-inch skillet (or two smaller skillets to fry in batches) over high heat. Add the olive oil and when it is very hot, add the meatballs in a single layer. Don't crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Fry the meatballs without moving for a few minutes, then turn as they cook to brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon out any excess oil from the pan, carefully scraping around the meatballs.
  • Add the tomatoes and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the browned bits. Simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot pasta with 3 meatballs on top, some sauce, the grated cheese, and freshly ground black pepper.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (any combo you want, some stores even have meatloaf mix already ground for you...that's perfect) or 1 1/2 lbs ground veal (any combo you want, some stores even have meatloaf mix already ground for you...that's perfect)

2 pieces white bread (crust removed)
milk
fresh parsley, chopped
2 garlic cloves
kosher salt
pepper
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese

1 teaspoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Sauce.
  • Chopped onion and garlic for Tomato Sauce.
  • Open the canned tomatoes Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a pan over medium heat.
  • Add a teaspoon of both salt and pepper.
  • Cook onion and garlic until see through then add the Tomatoes (I usually buy the whole tomatoes and crush them by hand -- but that's up to you).
  • Bring to a boil and then bring the heat down to low and simmer while you make the meatballs.
  • Meatballs.
  • First remove the crust from each slice of bread. Then pour 1/2 cup of milk into a bowl and add the bread to soak up the milk.
  • As the bread soaks in the bowl add extra virgin olive oil to a pan (about 2 tablespoons) over medium head and add chopped onion and garlic.
  • Add salt and pepper (about a teaspoon of both)Cook both until the onions are see through then remove from heat. Keep the pan to cook the meatballs.
  • You can skip this step but I really like my garlic and onion in very small pieces. Place the onion garlic mixture on a cutting board and finely chop.
  • Go back to the bread and squeeze out the excess milk and add milk soaked bread to a large bowl.
  • Add the 2 eggs, pecorino cheese, parsley and meat to the bowl along with the onion and garlic mixture. Add salt and pepper to your liking, depending on your taste.
  • Take off all jewlery and get your hads dirty! mixed everything around my hand -- careful not to over work the mixture of your meatballs! We want soft delicate balls.
  • Make golfball sized meatballs rolling them around in your hand to make the correct shape.
  • Add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to the pan again and heat to medium high.
  • Add meatballs to cover the bottom of the pan with room to spare to turn them over.Do not over crowd the pan or they will not cook. This might have to be done in 2-3 batches.but its worth it.
  • Brown all sides turning them over every 3-4 minutes.
  • After all sides are browned put meatballs in simmering sauce while you make your pasta (if not making pasta cook the meatballs in the sauce for 15-20 mins to make sure they are cooked through).
  • Boil water for pasta (add salt to the water).
  • Cook pasta drain and add everything together.if you have some fresh basil it would taste amazing here -- add more cheese as you wish and enjoy!
