Time 2h15m

Yield 25 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 20

Extra-virgin olive oil, for greasing and drizzling
10 ounces boneless beef short rib, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
10 ounces boneless beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
8 ounces beef brisket, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 ounces beef fat, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
7 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
6 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Calabrian chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Calabrian chili paste
3 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon anise seeds
3 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 bunch basil, leaves torn
Grated grana padano, for topping
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 2 baking sheets with olive oil; set aside. Mix the beef short rib, chuck, brisket and fat in a large bowl. Add the bread, garlic, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt, chili powder, chili paste, fennel and anise seeds, and oregano; mix until combined. Grind the meat mixture in a meat grinder with a 1/4-inch grind die into a large bowl. Add the wine, ricotta and eggs and mix by hand until combined. (The mixture should be wet and tacky.)
  • Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and put on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the meatballs are brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Transfer the meatballs to a roasting pan. Pour the crushed tomatoes and their juices over the meatballs, cover with foil and bake until the meatballs are tender and have absorbed some of the sauce, 1 hour to 1 hour, 30 minutes. Scatter the basil leaves over the sauce.
  • Divide the meatballs and sauce among bowls. Top with grana padano and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with bread, if desired.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Coarse salt
3/4 pound spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed, or 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 pound ground pork
3/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The quality of your ground beef will greatly affect the flavor of your meatballs. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and avoid using ground beef that is too finely ground.
  • Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to season your meatballs generously. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder will give your meatballs plenty of flavor.
  • Use fresh bread crumbs: Fresh bread crumbs will help to bind the meatballs together and give them a light and airy texture. Avoid using store-bought bread crumbs, which can be dry and stale.
  • Don't overmix the meatballs: Overmixing the meatballs will make them tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly: It is important to cook the meatballs thoroughly to ensure that they are safe to eat. Cook the meatballs over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Peppered meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a party appetizer, a main course, or a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make peppered meatballs that are sure to impress your family and friends.
