Categories     Veal

Time 20m

Yield 14-18 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground veal
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2-1 small garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
2 cups water
1 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, lightly smashed

Steps:

  • With your hands, combine the beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add the eggs, cheese, parsley, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste and blend the ingredients together. Add the bread crumbs and blend into the meat mixture. Slowly add the water, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is moist.
  • Shape the meat mixture into 2 1/2 to 3-inch balls.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet. Sauté the whole garlic until lightly brown to flavor the oil, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.
  • Add the meatballs and fry in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. When the bottom half of the meatball is well browned and slightly crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes, turn it and cook the other side for 5 minutes more.
  • Remove the meatballs from the heat and drain them on paper towels.

These meatballs were good, but not great. I found them to be a little dry. I think I would have preferred to use a different type of breadcrumb, perhaps panko breadcrumbs.

I would give these meatballs a 4 out of 5. They were very good, but not the best I've ever had. I think I would have preferred to use a different type of breadcrumb, perhaps panko breadcrumbs.

These meatballs were good, but not great. I found them to be a little bland. I think I would have preferred to use a more flavorful blend of spices.

The meatballs were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would add more moisture to the meatballs next time, perhaps by adding some grated vegetables or using a different type of breadcrumb.

These meatballs were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a lighter breadcrumb mixture.
