Equipment
Ingredients
- For Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 lb Sausage Italian ground, mild or spicy, depending on your preference
- ½ cup very finely minced onion
- ¼ cup garlic Minced
- 1 stalk celery finely minced
- 1 egg
- For Sauce:
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup garlic Diced
- ½ cup beef stock
- salt and pepper to taste (a generous pinch of each)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
For the meatballs:
- If making fresh, combine meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- Roll into 2" (golfball sized) balls.
- Let chill 1 hour in refrigerator to set.
For the meal:
- Add olive oil to pan or dutch oven, and heat on medium high until shimmery.
- Add meatballs and brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side (1-2 minutes if cooking pre-cooked/frozen meatballs).
- Add stock to pan, and take care to scrape up any browned bits from the meatballs.
- Keep cooking meatballs until done inside, turning occasionally to prevent sticking, until size is reduced and balls are firm to the touch - about 8 minutes.
- Add butter to pan with garlic.
- Let garlic slightly brown and soften, until fragrant.
- Stir in parmesan cheese and serve over pasta, rice, vegetables, or on their own!
