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.

Steps:
- Place a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil followed by the onions and 2 of the minced garlic cloves with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent, 5 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool slightly.
- 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.
- Dredge the meatballs in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat a large cast-iron enamel skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. 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
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!
