Lip-Smacking Sicilian Meatballs
These Sicilian meatballs are my favourite! These are so easy to cook and your kids will love them just as mine did!
Ingredients
Meatball Ingredients
1 kilogram ground beef (minced beef)
250 grams ground pork (minced pork)
5 medium eggs
½ glass milk- 150 grams Parmigiano-Reggiano - grounded
1 clove garlic - thinly chopped
150 grams breadcrumbs
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper- 1 pinch persil
Sauce Ingredients
1 kilogram Neapolitan Sauce or Pasta sauce Southern Hemisphere (Tomato Sauce in North America) - sweet
1 medium onion
1 medium carrot
Instructions
- Combine the meatball with a wet hand (they have to be round and about 1 to 2 centimetres in diameter). Pan-fry the meatballs until they are golden brown.
- Make the soffritto in a pan (a mixture of finely chopped onions, celery, and carrot sauteed in olive oil).
- When the soffrito is well melted, add the tomato sauce, salt and pepper and cook slightly until you have a tasty and silky tomato sauce.
- Put the meatball in the sauce and cook everything together for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then turn off the fire and eat (tastier if you eat them directly from the pan dipping a good piece of bread in the sauce).
