Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 plus ½ Vidalia onions - finely minced
¾ cup olive oil
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
4 large basil leaves
4 to 5 cans (28-ounces) Italian peeled tomatoes, blended in a blender
½ Tbsp. salt
Additional salt and black pepper, to taste
1 pound lean ground beef, (may also mix 1/2 beef with 1/2 veal)
1 loaf of Italian Bread (preferably old)- soaked in water
2 whole eggs
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground black pepper
3 Tbsp. Romano grated cheese
2 Tbsp. fresh Italian parsley - chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl. Soak a loaf of Italian bread for about 3 minutes.
  • Remove bread from the water. Remove the crust and discard, leaving only the inside dough.
  • Use your hands and squeeze all liquid from the bread. Transfer bread to a large bowl.
  • Combine bread with ground beef, eggs, cheese, garlic powder, pepper, and parsley.
  • Mix with your hands to combine well, or use your food processor. Using a spoon to mix will not work. The mixture will be very sticky. Best to wash your hands before shaping them into meatballs.
  • Scoop a small amount of meat mixture into your hand and roll into 2-inch balls. Transfer each meatball onto a sheet of wax paper. Set them aside.
  • On the stovetop, using a deep medium-size skillet, pour oil.
  • Heat oil on medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add a few meatballs and fry until the bottom is crispy brown. Gently turn meatballs over once and continue until crispy brown.
  • Remove meatballs from the pan and drain onto a platter lined with paper towels.
  • Repeat until all meatballs are fully cooked.
  • Eat them alone, fried or place them into your Tomato Sauce and simmer for about 30 minutes to one hour. Using a spoon, gently remove the meatballs, transfer them onto a platter and serve.
  • Yields: about 20 meatballs
  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, add the olive oil, onions, red pepper flakes, and basil, and simmer on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Then add only one can of tomatoes (blended) to the onions to prevent the onions from burning while cooking. (This is a trick my husband learned from his mom). Occasionally stirring. Continue to simmer the onions on low heat for another 15 minutes.
  • Then add in the rest of the tomatoes and salt. Cover and raise the heat to bring to the sauce a boil. Lower the heat again, and continue to simmer the sauce on low heat.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce. Simmer for an additional hour, occasionally stirring the sauce. The total cooking time should be about 1 and ½ hours. Taste the sauce. Turn off the heat. Allow the sauce to cool down slightly.
  • Yields: 3 quarts
