Bob Dellapina's Sunday Meatballs
Source of Recipe
Buddy Cookbook
List of Ingredients
1 lb. ground meat (1/2 beef and 1/2 pork)
3 medium eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan or Romano cheese*
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
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 mix. Roll it in the palm of your hands to form a smooth ball about 1 in. in diameter.
TO COOK THE MEATBALLS:
Drop the meatballs directly into your basic tomato sauce recipe. Or, if you prefer a crusty meatball, fry in approximately 3 Tbsp. 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 20 minutes to cook well.
Makes: 15-18 medium meatballs or 40-45 tiny meatballs
