Joannie Locricchio's Perfect Meatballs
Not only does Joannie Locricchio make the tastiest Tomato Sauce, but also the most perfect Meat-a-ball-a. What's a tomato sauce (called "gravy" in Brooklyn), without a great meatball?.
The juices from the meatball flavor the sauce along with its companions the Italian sausage and pork ribs.
The meats are browned for Joannie's Tomato Sauce and then the entire sauce is created by building layers of flavors.
Joannie's meatballs are light and air not the sinkers that are sometimes served in some restaurants. Joannie's trick is to lightly wet your hands when rolling the meatball. This allows all the ingredients to become moist thus, allowing you to roll the perfect ball. She prefers to brown her meatballs in olive oil on the stove instead of baking in the oven.
We agree with her because the meatball forms a crust in the frying pan. The crust adds flavor to the sauce. Whether you like you meatballs plain or in a sauce you must try this delicious recipe. At the www.RecipeExchange.com we alter this recipe by using a blend of pork, beef and veal chopped meats instead of simply ground beef.
