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 the meantime, mix together the chicken, Worcestershire, breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, egg and Parmesan in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, then mix in the cooled onions and garlic. Scoop into 12 meatballs then set aside. This can be done a day ahead of time.

Add the meatballs and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 minutes, then flip and continue to brown on the other side until golden brown and crisp, 2 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
  • To the same skillet, add the mushrooms and remaining 2 minced garlic cloves with a little more olive oil. Cook until the mushrooms soften and begin to crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Add the marsala, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pan then add the chicken stock and the meatballs. Reduce the liquid by about half and allow the meatballs to cook through, 15 to 20 minutes, then stir in the butter and parsley. Serve.

MEATBALLS WITH SAGE & MARSALA



Meatballs With Sage & Marsala image

I have used Thyme rather than Sage in the past and it was just as good. This is an easy recipe with AMAZING results. Its perfect for company and quite impressive. You can use ground Turkey rather than Veal if you like. I don't know where I got this from. The cooking & prep times are just guesses. Serve this as a main dish with pasta, risotto, rice or potatoes as a side or part of a larger Italian meal after the Pasta course with a steamed vegetable on the side. Make sure you have some bread for cleaning that plate!

MEATBALLS IN MARSALA



Meatballs in Marsala image

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup crustless Italian bread, torn into bits
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup (about) all-purpose flour
1 pound ground beef round
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup chopped ham
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry marsala
1/2 cup homemade Meat Broth or store-bought beef broth

Steps:

  • 1 In a small bowl, soak the bread in the milk for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the liquid. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. 2 In a large bowl, place the bread, beef, eggs, cheese, ham, parsley, and salt and pepper. With your hands, thoroughly mix together all of the ingredients. Rinse your hands in cool water to prevent sticking, then lightly shape the mixture into eight 2-inch balls. Roll the balls in flour. 3 In a skillet large enough to hold all of the meatballs, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning them carefully with tongs, until nicely browned, about 15 minutes. Add the Marsala and the broth. Cook until the liquid is reduced and the meatballs are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
