Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your meatballs will taste. Look for fresh, high-quality ground beef and pork, as well as flavorful herbs and spices.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then form them into balls.
- Brown the meatballs before simmering them: Browning the meatballs gives them a nice caramelized flavor. Be sure to brown them in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're browning the meatballs, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a good quality red wine: The red wine you use in the sauce will have a big impact on the flavor of the meatballs. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking, and that has a good balance of fruit and acidity.
- Simmer the meatballs for at least 30 minutes: This will give the sauce time to develop its flavor and the meatballs to become tender.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides: Burgundy meatballs are delicious served with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. You can also serve them on a bed of greens, or with a side of bread or rolls.
