New Mama'S Meatballs - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 lbs ground veal (OR 1 pound each, pork, beef and veal; OR Whatever combination of ground meat you want to use.)
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs (I used the canned stuff)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup grated or powdered parmesan cheese
Preparation
-
You will also need: thin latex gloves (optional).
Preheat oven to 375, spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.
Combine meat, shallots, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg, bread crumbs, milk and parmesan in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
I wear thin latex gloves because I can really mix the ingredients and shape the meatballs without getting it under my fingernails.
Scoop up 1/4 cup sized portions and shape into 1/2 inch balls.
Place meatballs, spaced apart on baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through (160 degrees in centers).
Do not overcook.
Add to pasta sauce or sweet and sour sauce or brown gravy.
Very delicious.
