Source of Recipe

unknown


List of Ingredients

1 pound Ground chuck
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese -- grated
1 pound Ground pork
4 garlic cloves* -- (4 to 6)
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups Bread crumbs*
Fresh Basil leaves, fine chopped


Recipe

YIELD:15-18 medium meatballs, or 40-45 tiny meatballs. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss gently with your hands until the meat has become thoroughly blended with all the seasonings. The mixture should be fairly moist. To form the meatballs, wet your hands in a small bowl of lukewarm water and then pick up about 1/3 cup of the meatball mixture. Roll it in the palm of your hands to form a smooth ball about 1 inch in diameter.

Drop the meatballs directly into your basic tomato sauce recipe. Or, if you prefer a crusty meatball, fry in approximately 3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat for about 5 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Then drop them into gently boiling tomato sauce as they are browned. Meatballs take about 20 minutes to cook well. (Remember to scrape the bottom of skillet and pour meat particles into sauce.)
