Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 14 1/2-ounce can chicken broth
1 14 1/2-ounce can beef broth
1/2 cup port
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of sugar, optional
1 pound ground veal
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
4 to 5 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine chicken and beef broth. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 cups broth mixture and port. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and keep warm.
  • In a large saucepan or casserole over medium-low heat, melt butter, then stir in flour until smooth. Add broth and port mixture, salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Simmer until slightly thickened and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Keep warm.

  • Bring sauce to a simmer, add meatballs and simmer until firm and cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes. Serve with the sauce.

I found that the meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

I wasn't sure how the port sauce would taste, but it was actually really good. It was a perfect complement to the meatballs.

I made a few changes to the recipe and the meatballs still turned out great. I used ground beef instead of veal and I added some chopped onion and garlic to the meatball mixture.

I found that the meatballs were a bit dry. I think I would add some more bread crumbs or milk to the mixture next time.

The port sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the meatballs themselves were delicious.
