This recipe of Jumbo Brisket Meatballs is inspired by Italian meatballs called polpette, and the traditional uncooked tomato sauce called "passata." These brisket meatballs are so tender and so flavorful, and they get a quick simmer in San Marzano Tomato Sauce with wonderful aromatic flavor from smoked chili flakes, orange peel strips and marjoram leaves.

2 tbsp flatleaf parsley (minced)
½ tsp fine salt (or to taste)
½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
½ clove garlic (fresh, minced)
¼ tsp nutmeg (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil, peel and mash the yellow potatoes. Mix in 1 Tbs of olive oil and set aside.

  • Beat one whole egg and add to the mix.
  • Add the mashed potatoes. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon or your hands.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (any combo you want, some stores even have meatloaf mix already ground for you...that's perfect) or 1 1/2 lbs ground veal (any combo you want, some stores even have meatloaf mix already ground for you...that's perfect)
1/2 chopped onion
2 pieces white bread (crust removed)
milk
fresh parsley, chopped
2 garlic cloves
kosher salt
pepper
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese
2 eggs
2 (28 ounce) cans san marzano tomatoes, just look for it on the label (you can use regular...but San Marzano taste amazing, brand I use is Centro)
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Sauce.
  • Chopped onion and garlic for Tomato Sauce.
  • Open the canned tomatoes Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a pan over medium heat.
  • Add a teaspoon of both salt and pepper.
  • Cook onion and garlic until see through then add the Tomatoes (I usually buy the whole tomatoes and crush them by hand -- but that's up to you).
  • Bring to a boil and then bring the heat down to low and simmer while you make the meatballs.
  • Meatballs.
  • First remove the crust from each slice of bread. Then pour 1/2 cup of milk into a bowl and add the bread to soak up the milk.
  • As the bread soaks in the bowl add extra virgin olive oil to a pan (about 2 tablespoons) over medium head and add chopped onion and garlic.
  • Add salt and pepper (about a teaspoon of both)Cook both until the onions are see through then remove from heat. Keep the pan to cook the meatballs.
  • You can skip this step but I really like my garlic and onion in very small pieces. Place the onion garlic mixture on a cutting board and finely chop.
  • Go back to the bread and squeeze out the excess milk and add milk soaked bread to a large bowl.
  • Add the 2 eggs, pecorino cheese, parsley and meat to the bowl along with the onion and garlic mixture. Add salt and pepper to your liking, depending on your taste.
  • Take off all jewlery and get your hads dirty! mixed everything around my hand -- careful not to over work the mixture of your meatballs! We want soft delicate balls.
  • Make golfball sized meatballs rolling them around in your hand to make the correct shape.
  • Add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to the pan again and heat to medium high.
  • Add meatballs to cover the bottom of the pan with room to spare to turn them over.Do not over crowd the pan or they will not cook. This might have to be done in 2-3 batches.but its worth it.
  • Brown all sides turning them over every 3-4 minutes.
  • After all sides are browned put meatballs in simmering sauce while you make your pasta (if not making pasta cook the meatballs in the sauce for 15-20 mins to make sure they are cooked through).
  • Boil water for pasta (add salt to the water).
  • Cook pasta drain and add everything together.if you have some fresh basil it would taste amazing here -- add more cheese as you wish and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your meatballs will taste. If possible, use organic, free-range, and local ingredients.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your meatballs well. A good rule of thumb is to add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of meat.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Light Touch: When shaping the meatballs, use a light touch. Don't pack the meat too tightly, or the meatballs will be dense and heavy.
  • Brown the Meatballs: Before adding the meatballs to the sauce, brown them in a skillet over medium heat. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart in the sauce.
  • Simmer the Meatballs: Once the meatballs are browned, add them to the tomato sauce and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
  • Serve Hot: Meatballs are best served hot out of the oven or off the stovetop. Serve them with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables.
