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.

You will neeed 8 1" pieces of green pepper and 8 1" pieces of red pepper and 8 pieces on onion. I have simple said !/2 pepper and 1 onion to keep the ingredient list simple. If using Bamboo skewers soak for 45 minutes in water to prevent scorching. The cook time is apprx depending on your method of cooking and the size of your meatball. I used a griddler and it took 7 minutes, BBQ perhaps 15 minutes and broiling about 15 minutes 6" from the broiler.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of ground pork shoulder and ground pork belly. The shoulder will give the meatballs a leaner texture, while the belly will add richness and flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your meatballs the most flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the meatball mixture before cooking: Chilling the meatball mixture will help them hold their shape better when cooking.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat: Cooking the meatballs over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are cooked through: The meatballs are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Pork meatballs kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can make the best pork meatballs kabobs possible. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give pork meatballs kabobs a try!
