List of Ingredients




Sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 thinly sliced carrot
2 teaspoons flour
3 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1/2 cup dry white wine
salt

Meatballs:
3.5 oz bread, crusts removed (i used 1/3 of a 10oz canister of bread crumbs)
1/3 cup milk
1lb ground beef (or 1/2 ground pork, 1/2 ground beef)
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
salt
2 eggs
flour for coating
olive oil for frying


Recipe



Make the sauce first by heating the oil and frying the onion and carrot for about 10 minutes over low heat. Add the flour. When it browns, add the broth, tomato sauce and wine. Season with salt and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.

To make the meatballs, soak the bread in the milk, then press out the excess and mix with the meat, parsley and garlic. Season with salt, add the eggs and mix well to form a paste. Shape the meatballs with your hands, dip in flour, then transfer to a floured plate until they're all made.

Heat the oil in a deep skillet. Fry the meatballs a few at a time and transfer to a casserole as they finish. Put the sauce in a blender and puree. Pour over the meatballs and cook for 30 minutes over low heat.

While the meatballs simmer in the sauce cook some white rice. serve with lots of sauce over rice with a salad.

Sort of a pain to make them with kids running around, but if you make a ton of them they freeze really well.
