Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground beef
1 shallot (, grated or finely chopped)
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 small eggs ( or 1 medium/large)
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese (, grated)
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ cup milk + more if needed
Salt (, pepper to taste)
2 cups tomato puree (+ approx. ¼ cup water)
2 garlic cloves
Fresh basil leaves
Dried oregano
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl add ground beef and crumble it with a wooden spoon or simply using your fingers.
  • Add finely chopped shallot. I like to use a microplane grater as it extracts all the juices to go with the meat and minces the shallot really well.
  • Add ground nutmeg, breadcrumbs, egg(s) and Parmesan cheese.
  • Mix everything well with your hands.
  • Slowly pour in the milk. Mix again until smooth and even texture.
  • Add salt and pepper.
  • If the mixture feels too dry add some more milk, if way too soft, almost liquid-y - add more breadcrumbs.
  • An ideal meatball mix should be moist, easy to roll in your hands and hold the shape.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Pinch of about an ounce of meat and roll it between the palms of your hands giving it a smooth round shape with no cracks.
  • With an ounce of meat you'll have medium size meatballs, think walnut size.
  • Of course you can make your meatballs smaller or bigger, depending your preference.
  • Place rolled meatballs on a baking sheet (see notes!).Line with parchment paper to avoid extra cleaning.Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • In a large skillet pan add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add baked meatballs, tomato pure (clean the can/bottle with about a quarter cup water and add to the sauce).
  • Add garlic cloves crushed with a flat knife, handful of fresh basil leaves and generous drizzle of dried oregano.
  • Bring to simmer and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes.

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.
