  Re: (...)
I used to have a copy of Cuisine that had an awesome recipe for Italian meatballs, but we just moved and I cannot find it! Anyone have this recipe handy? I would be SO appreciative. It is one of my family's favorites.

Thanks!

I wonder if these are the ones you want. I got this recipe on this forum and everyone was raving about them.
I made them right away, they were very good.


Here is the recipe from October 2002, issue 35, and the tomato sauce recipe that was with it.

Italian Wedding Soup
(Cuisine at home, October 2002, Issue 35, p. 25)


Makes: 12 Cups Total Time: 45 Minutes Rating: Intermediate


For the Meatballs—
Stir Together:
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/3 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs, beaten
1 T. dried oregano
1/2 T. garlic, minced
1/2 T. kosher salt
1/2 T. ground black pepper
1 t. dried basil
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch nutmeg

Add; Shape:
1 lb. ground chuck

For the Soup—
Sweat in 2 T. Olive Oil:
1 cup yellow onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup ham, diced
1 T. garlic, minced

Add and Simmer:
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 t. dried oregano
2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf

Drop in:
30 uncooked marble-sized meatballs

Stir in:
1 can (15 oz.) white beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups whole spinach leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Combine; Off Heat, Add:
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated





Stir together all ingredients (except the ground meat) in a mixing bowl.

Add the ground chuck and mix together thoroughly with a fork. Using a portioning scoop, shape the meat mixture into balls (about marble sized).

Sweat vegetables, ham, and garlic for soup, in oil in a stockpot over medium heat until softened.

Add chicken broth and seasonings; simmer 15–20 minutes.

Drop meatballs into simmering soup with a small scoop or a melon baller. Cook until they float to the top, 3–4 minutes.

Stir in beans, spinach, and parsley. Cook just until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.

Combine eggs and Parmesan with a whisk. Off heat, stir egg mixture into soup.

I made this one again last night. I like this because the meatballs are sooo tender. This makes a GREAT meatball sub as well! The raw meatballs will seem like they are too soft, but trust me! There is usually a LOT of hand smacking in the kitchen when I'm frying up the meatballs...they got 5 last night!

Mama's Meat Balls

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Pork

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/8 yellow onion -- I use about 1/2 a small onion
2/3 clove garlic -- I use at least one large one
1/8 cup fresh Italian parsley -- chopped fine
1/3 pound ground beef
1/3 pound ground pork
1/3 pound ground veal
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 1/3 eggs -- I just used one large egg.
1/8 cup parmesan cheese -- grated (I used more like 1/4 cup)
2/3 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
Simple Tomato Sauce


Place the chicken stock, onion, garlic and parsley in a blender or food processor and puree.

In a large bowl, combine the pureed stock mix, meat, bread crumbs, eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, red pepper flakes, parsley and salt. Combine with both hands until mixture is uniform. Do not over mix.

Put a little olive oil on your hands and form mixture into balls a little larger than golf balls. They should be about ¼ cup each, though if you prefer bigger or smaller, it will only affect the browning time.

Pour about 1/2-inch of extra virgin olive oil into a straight-sided, 10-inch-wide sauté pan and heat over medium-high flame. Add the meatballs to the pan (working in batches if necessary) and brown meatballs, turning once. This will take about 10-15 minutes.

While the meatballs are browning, heat the marinara sauce in a stockpot over medium heat. Lift the meatballs out of the sauté pan with a slotted spoon and put them in the marinara sauce. Stir gently. Simmer for one hour. Serve with a little extra Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkled on top.

NOTES : Serve alone or over spaghetti (in which case, you will need 6 cups of marinara). Or make a meatball sub by splitting them in half, scoop out some of the bread in your bun, add meatballs and marinara, top with a few basil leaves and mozzerella and toast.

I usually double this recipe. Since veal is not usually available around here, I just use half and half pork and beef.

12/30/07 I used my homemade Italian sausage in place of the pork and they were very good.
