Time 40m

Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk, room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Marsala wine
1 pound ground white meat chicken
1/4 cup grated pecorino, plus extra for serving
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 large shallot, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons flour
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, milk and 1 tablespoon Marsala. Leave to soak for 5 minutes. Add the chicken, pecorino, egg, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. With your hands, gently mix together the ingredients until just combined. Form the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are beginning to brown and are just barely cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • In a straight-sided skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms are brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for another 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the 1/3 cup Marsala and stir until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors blend. Serve hot, garnished with grated pecorino.

Tips for Making the Best Marsala Meatballs

  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This gives the meatballs a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Add bread crumbs to the meatball mixture: This helps to bind the ingredients together and makes the meatballs lighter.
  • Season the meatball mixture well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.
  • Brown the meatballs in a pan before adding them to the sauce: This helps to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the Marsala sauce for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors of the sauce to penetrate the meatballs.
  • Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes: They can also be served as an appetizer with toothpicks.

Conclusion

Marsala meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are serving them as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, these meatballs are sure to be a hit.
