VEAL MEATBALLS

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Roast     Veal

Yield Makes about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons salt
2 pounds ground veal
3 large eggs
2/3 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 carrot, finely diced (about 1 cup)
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the onions just start to turn translucent and begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a plate and place in the refrigerator to cool.
  • Combine the cooled onions with the ground veal, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan, carrots, celery, parsley, oregano, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
  • Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

THE BEST MEATBALLS



The Best Meatballs image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground veal
½ pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil

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.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality veal. Look for veal that is pink and firm, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Grind the veal yourself. This will give you more control over the texture of the meatballs.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients. Overworking the mixture will make the meatballs tough.
  • Chill the meatballs before cooking. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will prevent them from browning too quickly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Some popular options include marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto.

Conclusion:

Veal meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. By following these tips, you can make perfect veal meatballs that are sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy!
