Marvelous Meatballs Food

MAURO'S MAGICAL NO-BREAD MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place the cashews and garlic in a small pot and cover with water. Boil for 15 minutes, then drain completely. Place the cooked cashews and garlic in a food processor with olive oil. Process until a paste forms, about 1 minute.
• Combine cashew paste with ground meats, Pecorino, parsley, eggs and some salt and pepper. Knead until well combined. Using a measuring cup, form into heaping 1/4-cup-sized meatballs.
• Heat enough canola oil to come 1/2-inch up the side of a low-sided Dutch oven or heavy bottomed skillet to 350 degrees F. Add meatballs in batches and brown the meatballs on all sides until dark brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes a side. Let drain on a wire rack and serve with your favorite spaghetti and tomato sauce.

MARVELOUS MEATBALL SUBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl and punch a well into the center of meat. Fill well with the egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire, parsley, cheese, and a little salt and pepper. Stir up meatball ingredients until well combined, don't overmix. Divide mix into 4 equal parts, roll each part into 4 balls and space equally onto a nonstick baking sheet. Put meatballs in oven and roast about 12 minutes. Break a meatball open and make sure meat is cooked through before removing from the oven.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. When garlic starts sizzling, add herbs and crushed pepper. Allow oil to infuse for half a minute, then stir in the tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are removed from oven.
• Combine meatballs and sauce and pile into sub rolls, 4 meatballs per sub. Top with shredded cheese and place under subs under broiler to melt cheese. Top with shredded basil or arugula. Enjoy!

MARVELOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a 11x17 pan (approx) with foil, set aside. In a small bowl, add bread and pour milk over. Allow to stand 5 minutes. (Bread is formulated for 3 average slices of white bread, if using something different you may need more or less)
• 2. Squeeze excess milk from bread, crumble into a large bowl, discarding milk, add in remaining ingredients. Mix well. Your hands will work the best. :o) Shape into 1 1/2" balls. (a large cookie scoop works wonderfully) Place onto prepared pan, leave at least 1/2" between each meatball. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
• 3. As I said in the note above...These can be used so many ways. - with your favorite marina sauce on a garlic toasted hoagie roll with provolone or mozzarella - with your favorite spaghetti/marina sauce over pasta OR on a small bun with mozzarella as a slider. - with a home made sweet and sour sauce over rice or egg noodles - with a rich beef gravy over mashed potatoes - or alone with caramelized onion and mushrooms over top (MY Favorite)
