Yield Serves 12 (antipasto) with remaining meat mixture for sunday ragù

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from an Italian or a French loaf)
1/3 cup whole milk
3/4 pound ground beef chuck
3/4 pound ground veal
3/4 pound ground pork (not lean)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano (3 1/2 ounces)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Stir together bread crumbs and milk in a large bowl and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Add meats, garlic, cheese, eggs, parsley, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to bread crumb mixture and blend with your hands until combined (do not overmix). Form 1 1/2 cups meat mixture into small torpedo-shaped meatballs (1 level tablespoon each). Reserve remaining 4 cups meat mixture for ragù .
  • Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry meatballs in 2 batches (do not crowd), turning occasionally, until browned well and cooked through, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon and reserve oil for frying meatballs for ragù.

I'm not a fan of torpedo-shaped meatballs, but these were surprisingly good. They were cooked evenly and had a great flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The meatballs were good, but the sauce was a bit bland.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably use a different sauce next time.

The meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably use a milder sauce next time.

The meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more milk or broth next time.

I added a bit of garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the meatballs, and they were even more flavorful.

I was a bit skeptical about the torpedo shape, but it actually worked really well. The meatballs cooked evenly and stayed moist.
