Mama'S Old School Meatballs
- 2 lbs chop meat 80% lean or higher
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup seasoned bread crumbs or 3 slices of bread w/o crust
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 Freshly Chopped Parsley
- 1 cup Locatelli cheese
- 1 cup milk
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Pepper
- Place chop meat in bowl add in cheese, eggs, parsley, salt & pepper.
- Mince or press garlic cloves & add into meat
- Soak bread or breadcrumbs in milk and add to bowl
- Using your hands, mix all ingredients together, rinsing hands under water to prevent sticking, take care not to extend this process, less contact with the meat the better consistency.
- Shape mixture into meatballs approximately 1.5" in circumference. Again, less handling, better cohesion.
- In an cast iron frypan, (or whatever) set to burner Med-Hi add a little olive oil and meatballs to pan one at a time.
- This process may be done in one step after you form each ball or after you make them all.
- Note: One Step can get a little hectic
- Take care to turn each meatball browning on all sides while maintaining their shape.
- Note:
- Depending on your preference meatballs can be added to the sauce directly from the frying pan or as I prefer one 1/2 hour before serving.
