Comment préparer Perfect Meatballs
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground pork, grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup), finely chopped onion (1/2 cup), finely chopped garlic (2 cloves), egg (1 large), dried oregano (1 teaspoon), dried basil (1 teaspoon), salt (1 teaspoon), black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and breadcrumbs (1 cup).
- If the meat mixture seems too loose, gradually add more breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it holds its shape.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
- Pour your homemade Perfect Pomodoro Sauce (about 2 cups) over the meatballs.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 200 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta, polenta or rice, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
