Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1.1 lbs ground beef ((500g))
1 large egg (free range)
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs ((60g))
Salt and pepper to season
1 onion (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
2 14 oz cans chopped canned tomatoes (high quality (800g))
2 tablespoon tomato paste ((puree in UK))
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper (to season)
Freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
Torn fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Put all the meatball ingredients in a food processor and blitz until thoroughly combined and smooth. Next using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs by rolling them one by one in the palms of your hands. This should make 12-13 meatballs.
  • Top Tip: When rolling the meatballs they should be shiny and smooth with minimal to no cracks on the surface.
  • Heat a little olive oil in a pan and brown the meatballs on all sides, set aside on a plate. Next, saute the chopped onion in the same pan until soft.
  • Place the cooked onion in a blender with good quality canned chopped tomatoes and blitz until smooth. Add the sauce to the pan with salt, pepper and tomato paste. Rinse out the tomato cans with a little water and add that to the sauce (fill each can about 1/4 full) Simmer the sauce on a low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs back to the sauce and gently toss them so they are covered in the sauce, simmer slowly for 30 minutes.
  • Serve with a sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese and torn basil leaves.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS/POLPETTE



Authentic Italian Meatballs/Polpette image

My mom's friend who is Italian gave me a copy of her family cookbook that they had bound and published. It was a wedding shower gift that I treasure. As a newlywed I used this recipe a lot! I've been married 16 years and I make these with spaghetti, for meatball sandwiches, and smaller versions for appetizers to take in a crockpot to parties. Some friends think it is strange to put uncooked meatballs in the sauce, but that's what the recipe says to do. It cooks for a long time, and the meatballs keep their shape. I do not make my own spaghetti sauce. I buy two large jars of Ragu. No one seems to notice, or care!!Always a hit!!! Makes a lot and freezes well.
