Homemade Maranara With Italian Sausage Meatballs Food

ITALIAN SAUSAGE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine ground sausage, eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese, and garlic. Slowly add the water, a few tablespoons at a time, mixing with your hands until everything is just combined. Don't over mix here or it'll make the meatballs tough. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape when rolled into meatballs.
• Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop about one tablespoon of meat into your palms and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all of the meat.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they're cooked though.
• Toss with your favorite sauce and serve!

SAUSAGE MEATBALLS MARINARA WITH KHORASAN WHEAT

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full with water to a boil. Add the wheat berries, and cook until the grains have plumped and are tender but still chewy, 55 minutes to 1 hour; strain. (The wheat berries can be cooked and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.)
• Squeeze the sausage out of the casings, divide into 20 pieces and roll into Ping-Pong-ball-sized meatballs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until brown and crispy, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat, and transfer the meatballs to a plate. They should be about 3/4 of the way cooked. Wipe out the skillet.
• Put the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper in the skillet, and set over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, stir until the garlic is lightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, and stir until the oil turns yellow, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the basil and 1/2 cup water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the meatballs, and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and the meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Stir in the wheat berries, and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and serve hot.

HOMEMADE MARANARA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE & MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Prepare Sauce:.
• empty 2 cans of whole tomatoes into a food processor and puree.
• add in dried herbs and spices (oregeno, basil, bay leaves, garlic).
• Place contents from food processor into large stock pot.
• Place on medium low heat and simmer.
• add sugar to sauce mixture.
• Cut sausage into halves and brown (do NOT cook throughly) over medium heat in olive oil.
• Add diced onion into stock pot.
• Remove browned sausages from skillet (discard oil) and add into sauce mixture in stock pot.
• Prepare meat balls:.
• in large bowl combine meat, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Hand mix until combined well.
• Add in egg and cracker crumbs or bread crumbs. Combine well.
• Add in parsley, combine well.
• Roll into meatballs.
• Drop RAW meatballs into sauce. In order for meat to cook through throughly they must remain in simmering sauce for a minimum of 40 minutes. Be careful not to stir sauce to vigorously during first 20-30 minutes as that may break up your meatballs, just stir enough to make sure meatballs are completely submerged in sauce. Once 40-50 minutes has elapsed sauce should be ready to eat, as the meat should be cooked. I prefer allowing sauce to simmer on low heat for a 2-4 hours, as the longer this sauce cooks the better it tastes. The meat also absorbs more flavor from the sauce itself. As long as you cook meats at least 40-50 minutes in sauce mixture you should be fine. This does however change based on the size of the meatballs you make. I make ones around the size of a golf ball. Larger meatballs take longer to cook. You can always take one out and cut it in half to see if they are cooked through throiughly.
