Categories     Meatballs

Time 30m

Yield 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup goat cheese
2 lbs ground goat meat
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a 9-by-13 inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, 1-teaspoon salt and the thyme. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and nicely browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator to cool completely.
  • Combine cooled onion mixture with remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Roll the mixture into round, gold ball-sized meatballs (about 1.5 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatballs should read 165 degrees.
  • Allow meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

PORK MEATBALLS



Pork Meatballs image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 20 to 25 meatballs, approximately

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds ground pork (lean but not too lean), cut from the pork shoulder
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili flakes
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2/3 cup tightly packed curly parsley leaves with stems, washed, dried and chopped
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus 1 tablespoon for testing
My Mother's Marinara Sauce, recipe follows
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, peeled, halved and diced
10 cloves garlic, peeled, halved and cut into thin slices
2 to 3 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt
3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
4 cups water, divided, plus more as needed
1 cup basil leaves, washed
Freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Add the meat to a large bowl, spread it out and season with salt, to taste. Add the remaining ingredients leaving the bread crumbs until last. Mix until all the ingredients are combined. Create a small patty and test it in a small saute pan in 1 tablespoon of oil. When browned on both sides, taste and re-season the meat mixture, if needed. Roll the mixture into about 20 to 25 or so balls that are about 2 inches in diameter.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, shut off the heat to avoid splattering, add the meatballs in a single layer and spread them somewhat apart so they have a chance to brown instead of steam. You may need to do this in batches. Brown the meatballs, over high heat, turning them so they brown all around. Treat them like hamburgers and cook them until they are medium-rare, about 3 to 5 minutes. Touch them to make sure they are still tender in the center. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove them from the pan to a tray and cook off the remaining balls, if needed.
  • Add the meatballs to the hot tomato sauce and allow them to bubble slightly and simmer over very low heat for a few minutes. Shut off the heat and allow the mixture to rest for a few additional minutes before serving.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sugar and season with salt, to taste. Stir in the carrots and re-season with salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, and then add canned tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to break up some of the whole tomatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add half of the water to prevent the veggies from getting too dry and continue cooking another 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. The tomatoes should be fairly broken down and the flavors coming together. Add remaining water, as needed, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. The sauce cooks about as long as it takes to make the meatballs from start to finish, about 45 minutes. Stir in the basil leaves and season with Parmesan.

PORK MEATBALLS WITH GINGER AND FISH SAUCE



Pork Meatballs With Ginger and Fish Sauce image

These nuoc cham-inspired meatballs are perfect to fill lettuce cups topped with fresh basil or cilantro. (Add steamed rice for a more substantial meal.) The Ritz crackers here make for a juicier meatball, but feel free to substitute plain dry bread crumbs. To make the Ritz crumbs, place the crackers in a resealable plastic bag and lightly crush them with the back of a wooden spoon or measuring cup. For an easy dipping sauce, spike 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil or soy sauce. And save any leftover meatballs: They're great simmered in chicken broth the next day. The ginger and garlic in them release their aromatics into the broth for a deeply flavorful soup base.
