Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
12 ounces ground beef chuck
12 ounces sweet Italian sausage meat
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
12 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup dry Marsala wine
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cook until tender, 20 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Combine the beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; mix with your hands until combined. Form into 12 meatballs (about 2 inches) and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until browned, about 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup chicken broth and return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium high and add the meatballs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, while you mash the potatoes.
  • Add the remaining 5 tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the potatoes and mash. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the parsley into the meatball mixture. Serve with the potatoes.

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!

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.

CHICKEN MARSALA WITH SAGE



Chicken Marsala with Sage image

Categories     Chicken     Sauté     Marsala     Sage     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, each halved horizontally
All purpose flour
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 cup imported dry Marsala
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
Fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dust with flour; shake off excess. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped sage; sauté 1 minute. Add half of chicken. Sauté until brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Repeat with remaining butter and chicken. Tent chicken with foil. Add Marsala and broth to skillet; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; spoon over chicken. Garnish with sage leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage. Italian sausage is a classic choice for meatballs, but you can also use ground beef, pork, lamb, or turkey. Just be sure to use a sausage that has a good flavor and is not too lean.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, and rosemary, will give your meatballs a delicious flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Brown the meatballs before cooking them in the sauce. Browning the meatballs will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart in the sauce.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine. Marsala wine is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will give the meatballs time to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Conclusion:

These meatballs with sage and Marsala are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. Serve the meatballs with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
