Categories     Appetizers

Time 40m

Yield About 25 mini meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large egg
¼ cup heavy cream or milk
¾ cup cubed white sandwich bread, crusts removed
½ pound ground pork
1 garlic clove, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ pound ground beef (85% lean)
½ cup ketchup
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1½ tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely grated shallot, from one shallot
1 small clove garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Finely chopped parsley, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and place an ovenproof baking/cooling rack over top; spray rack generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk the egg and cream together in a medium bowl. Stir in the bread and mash until no large bread chunks remain. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the pork, garlic, allspice, pepper, salt, and baking powder on high speed until smooth and pale, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl as necessary. Add the bread mixture to the mixing bowl and beat on high speed until smooth and homogeneous, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as necessary. Add the beef and mix on medium-low speed until just incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as necessary.
  • Using moistened hands (it's sticky and wet hands help; keep wetting them as you go), form the meat mixture into tablespoon-size round meatballs and place on the prepared rack. Bake for about 20 minutes, until just done.
  • Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Transfer them to a serving platter, spear with toothpicks and spoon the sauce over top. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meatballs and sauce can be frozen in separate containers for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, reheat the meatballs in their sauce on the stovetop over medium heat until hot in the center.

MUSHROOM AND BEEF MEATBALLS



Mushroom and Beef Meatballs image

It is rare that meatballs can be described as light, but these are. You bake them in the oven at a low temperature and the result is a very tender meatball. The mushroom base renders a flavor that is more vegetal than meaty. The recipe is easy to double and the meatballs freeze well. They are great to have on hand.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 22 to 24 meatballs, serving 5 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cubed Italian bread (2 ounces)
1/4 cup milk
1 medium carrot (about 4 ounces), cut in 1/4 inch dice
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound roasted mushroom base (just under 1/2 recipe, about 1 1/3 cups)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons beaten egg (1/2 extra large egg)
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the bread in a bowl, toss with the milk (add a little more milk if 1/4 cup isn't enough to moisten all the bread) and let soak for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile toss the carrots with 2 teaspoons olive oil on a parchment-covered sheet pan and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until tender and lightly browned (you can also make the mushroom base at this time).
  • Squeeze the milk out of the bread and crumble the bread into a large bowl. Add the beef, mushrooms, carrots, onion, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper and mix together well.
  • Turn the oven down to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Working in batches, pulse the meat and vegetable mixture in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until pasty. Return to the bowl. Fill a small bowl with water for dipping your hands, then with wet hands form 1-ounce balls, which will be about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You will need to keep wetting your hands.
  • Bake 40 minutes, or until the meatballs are nicely browned. Remove from the oven and if desired, simmer for up to an hour in tomato sauce. I like to serve these with spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Finely Chop the Mushrooms: Finely chopping the mushrooms will help them blend well with the other ingredients and create a smooth meatball texture.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor is the easiest way to finely chop the mushrooms and other ingredients.
  • Season the Meatballs Generously: Don't be afraid to season the meatballs generously. The flavors will mellow out during cooking.
  • Cook the Meatballs Thoroughly: Make sure the meatballs are cooked thoroughly before serving. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of a meatball. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the Meatballs Hot: Cocktail mushroom meatballs are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
