TUNA MEATBALLS



Tuna Meatballs image

Absoluely delicious meatball alternative from Sicily which is just as good as the meat version! An edited version of Jamie Oliver's recipe.

Provided by tashax3

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • First you need to make your meatballs.
  • Chop the tuna up into 1-inch/2.5 cm dice. Pour some olive oil into a large frying pan and place on the heat. Add the tuna to the pan with the pinenuts and cinnamon. Season lightly with salt and pepper and fry until the tuna is brown on all sides and the pinenuts are toasted.
  • Remove from the heat and put the mixture into a bowl. Allow to cool down for 5 minutes, then add the oregano, parsley, breadcrumbs, parmesan, eggs and lemon juice to the bowl.
  • Using your hands mix the flavors into the tuna, then divide the mixture and squeeze it into meatballs slightly smaller than a golf ball. (If you dip one of your hands in water while shaping, you'll get a smooth surface on the meatball.) If the mixture's very sticky, add a few more breadcrumbs. Keep the meatballs around the same size and place them on a tray lined with baking parchment, put them in the fridge for an hour to let them rest.
  • Whilst the meatballs are in the fridge you need to make your sauce. Place a large pan on the heat, add a generous amount of olive oil, the onion and garlic, and fry slowly for about 10, until soft.
  • Add the oregano, the tomatoes, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes and then blend until smooth. Add some red wine, chilli sauce, if using, and season.
  • Heat your oven to 250 degrees celcius. Take your meatballs out of the fridge and put them straight into the oven between 10 to 15 minutes or until they are goldenand cooked through.
  • When they're done, add them to the tomato sauce, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle.

Tips:

  • If you're short on time, you can use canned tuna instead of cooked tuna. Just be sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the mixture.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your party ball, such as chopped celery, onion, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • If you want a more flavorful party ball, you can use a flavored cream cheese, such as chive and onion cream cheese or smoked salmon cream cheese.
  • To make the party ball easier to shape, chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before assembling.
  • If you're having trouble getting the party ball to hold its shape, try adding a little bit of mayonnaise or sour cream to the mixture.
  • Serve the party ball with crackers, chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

The tuna party ball is a classic appetizer that is always a hit at parties and gatherings. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give the tuna party ball a try. You won't be disappointed!
