Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds ground pork shoulder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 jarred pickled peppers, minced
2 large eggs
4 slices fresh white bread, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
1 pound ground pork shoulder
2 teaspoons chilli flakes
2 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Two 28-ounce cans whole plum tomatoes
12 brioche rolls, sliced in half
12 thick slices mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • For the meatballs, combine the pork, salt, pickled peppers, eggs and bread in a large bowl.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, scoop 24 meatballs onto a baking sheet greased with the olive oil and bake for 17 minutes.
  • For the sauce, heat the oil in a pan and add the onion, pork, chilli flakes, and salt and cook for 15 minutes. Add the tomato paste and plum tomatoes with their liquid and cook for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, crushing the plum tomatoes as the sauce cooks.
  • For each serving, toast a brioche roll, cut side up, under the broiler until golden brown, and ladle sauce over each half of the roll. Place a thick slice of mozzarella on the top half of the roll, and "smash" one meatball between a set of tongs and place it on the bottom half of the roll. Repeat with a second meatball. Melt the cheese under the broiler and serve.

These meatballs are also great for freezing. Just cook them according to the recipe, and then let them cool completely. Place the meatballs in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, just thaw the meatballs in th

I've also made these meatballs in the slow cooker. Just brown the meatballs in a skillet first, and then add them to the slow cooker with the sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make a big batch of pulled pork on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make these meatballs during the week.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your liking, and you can also add different vegetables or herbs to the meatballs.

I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce, such as onions, carrots, and celery. This made the sauce even more flavorful and nutritious.

I made these meatballs with ground turkey instead of pork and they turned out great! The turkey meatballs were still very tender and juicy, and the sauce was just as flavorful.
