GRANDMA MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND MARONI SAUCE 100 YEAR OLD RECIPE



Grandma Maroni's Meatballs and Maroni Sauce 100 Year Old Recipe image

I found this recipe on the Food Network website on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. It is from Maroni Cuisine in Northport, New York. I saw the episode and was inspired to make the meatballs. Boy am I glad I did. They are so good! Truly the best meatballs I have ever eaten. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/throwdown-with-bobby-flay/grandma-maronis-meatballs-100-year-old-recipe-recipe/index.html The original recipe uses ounces-I have somewhat converted it into teaspoons and cups. (Hopefully I have done it correctly, but it tastes good too with my measurements!)

This classic Italian recipe from chef Daniel Mancini is sure to become a favorite in your home.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese, plus more for serving
1 cup dried plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, for frying
1 pound cooked spaghetti, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent. Using your hands, crush tomatoes and add to saucepan, along with their juices; stir to combine. Add bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cover, bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to a simmer.
  • Make the meatballs: Place beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix together by hand to combine. Wet hands with cold water and roll meat mixture into 1 3/4-inch balls.
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, place meatballs in skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, but not cooked through. Transfer meatballs to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Transfer meatballs to sauce and gently stir from the bottom up to coat with sauce. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover and reduce heat. Continue cooking, stirring every 15 minutes, for 3 hours more. Serve with spaghetti, sprinkled with more cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats: Mama Maroni's meatballs use a blend of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal. This combination creates a flavorful and juicy meatball.
  • Soak the bread in milk: Soaking the bread in milk helps to bind the meatballs together and prevents them from becoming dry.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to the meatballs. Use a variety of herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them in the sauce: Browning the meatballs gives them a nice crust and helps to develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce: The sauce is a key component of this dish. Use a sauce that is made with fresh tomatoes and has a rich flavor.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta: Mama Maroni's meatballs are traditionally served with spaghetti, but you can also serve them with other types of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni.

Conclusion:

Mama Maroni's meatballs and sauce is a classic Italian dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. The meatballs are flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
