THE BEST MEATBALLS



The Best Meatballs image

I never knew how to make good meatballs until I found this recipe. I normally make mine with just ground beef and they still taste great. I've used the combination of pork, beef and veal and they are equally good. Definitely use fresh bread crumbs and freshly grate your cheese instead of using the canned variety...it really does make a difference.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground veal
½ pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality bear meat. If frozen bear meat is used, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Grind the bear meat yourself for the freshest results. If using pre-ground bear meat, choose a coarse grind to ensure the meatballs stay moist and flavorful.
  • Season the meatballs generously with a variety of herbs and spices. Common seasonings include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Additional seasonings can be added to taste, such as chili powder or cumin.
  • Use a combination of breadcrumbs and flour to help bind the meatballs together. This will also help to prevent them from becoming too dry.
  • Moisten the breadcrumbs with milk or broth before adding them to the meat mixture. This will help to create a more tender and flavorful meatball.
  • Handle the meatball mixture gently to avoid overworking it. Overworking the meat can make the meatballs tough.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform sizes for even cooking. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the meatballs.
  • Brown the meatballs in a pan over medium heat before simmering them in a sauce. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a variety of sauces to flavor the meatballs. Common sauces include tomato sauce, gravy, or a creamy sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
  • Serve the meatballs hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. They can also be served as an appetizer or snack.

Bear meatballs are a unique and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
