Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. You will see curds at the top.
- Add bread to a small bowl and pour the buttermilk over the bread. Allow the bread to soak up all the milk and mix a little with your hands. Add the bread mixture to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile add olive oil to a small skillet. Add in onion and sauté until tender about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in garlic and sauté for one minute.
- Add onion and garlic to the bowl with the bread along with the beef, pork, cheese, eggs, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
- Combine the mixture using your hands just until combined. Try not to over work the meatballs. The mixture will be wet. Let stand for a couple of minutes before rolling.
- Roll out 16 meatballs. I make them the size of golf balls.
- Drizzle a skillet with olive oil. Over high heat sear the meatballs on all sides to brown. About 1-2 minutes on each side. (If meatball sticks to the pan give it more time before flipping). Also be careful when flipping meatballs they are pretty fragile.
- Place meatballs on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. They will be slightly undercooked on the inside but they will continue to cook as they come out of the oven. If this is an issue leave in the oven for longer (5 minutes) or simmer in tomato sauce for a few minutes.
- Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite tomato sauce and pasta.

THE BEST MEATBALLS
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.

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.)

Steps:
- Mix milk, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream, egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and allspice together in a large bowl. Set aside to soak until bread crumbs have absorbed the milk, at least 10 minutes.
- Mix in beef, pork, onion, and parsley, using your hands to mix until well combined. Roll into about 24 small meatballs or 16 larger meatballs.
- Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry meatballs in small batches until cooked through and browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil.
- Add butter for gravy sauce to the pan juices. Melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook and whisk until flour dissolves and turns brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, beef broth, cream, soy sauce, and Dijon. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine all of the flavors together. Continue to simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add meatballs to the gravy. Toss gently to coat and serve.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for the meatballs. This will give them a more flavorful and juicy texture.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
- Use a large skillet to brown the meatballs. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when browning the meatballs. If you overcrowd the skillet, the meatballs will steam instead of brown.
- Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through before adding them to the gravy.
- Use a good quality buttermilk for the gravy. This will give the gravy a rich and creamy flavor.
- Don't let the gravy boil. Boiling will cause the gravy to curdle.
- Serve the meatballs and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
