Low Carb Sicilian Meatballs
- 3 lb 85% lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 onion, minced
- 7 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large handful Italian parsley
- 1 cup Romano cheese, grated
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp salt
- OK, first off, if you want to go really authentic, make it 1 1/2 pound each of ground beef and ground pork.
- Now, throw everything into a large mixing bowl, and mix by hand.
- Roll the mixture into small meatballs.
- Golf ball is about as big as Sicilian Meatballs ever get, and often they're smaller.
- Add about five or six tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a two or three quart saucepan or large frying pan, and heat to medium.
- Fry the meatballs on medium for a few minutes per side, and I normally do at least three sides.
- Place the finished meatballs into a plate with a few layers of paper towel lining the bottom for drainage, and keep half an eye on that plate while finishing the rest in the pan.
- The aroma permeates the house and attracts vermin/children/spouses with a mind for repeated sampling.
- If you don't watch out, you end up with an empty dish after all that cooking.
- Serve in sauce, in Italian Wedding Soup, or as appetizers.
