MAMA MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND SAUCE



Mama Maroni's Meatballs and Sauce image

From "Throwdown with Bobby Flay". My boyfriend Loves this dish, he say's that they are the best meatballs he has ever eaten. They are great served with spaghetti or especially good served in a toasted hoagie roll with a little melted cheese on top. The sauce is thick and full of flavor. Be sure to use good quality "Crushed" tomatoes, not diced or stewed etc. It's key to the sauce coming out perfectly. I add a little red pepper flakes for a little more kick. Also, the original recipe doesn't mention adding salt to the meat mixture, but it is needed in my opinion. These are super easy and so, so good!

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground chuck
4 ounces dried breadcrumbs
4 large eggs
4 ounces whole milk
6 ounces romano cheese, grated
3 ounces Spanish onions, grated or minced
2 ounces garlic, minced
2 ounces fresh Italian parsley
2 ounces fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper
6 ounces olive oil, good quality, not extra virgin
12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. Mix together all meatball ingredients. If mixture seems too loose, add more breadcrumbs. (Mixture will be very moist.).
  • Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Roll meatballs into golfball sized balls.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • While meatballs are baking, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Saute onions until soft. Add garlic and saute until onions start to brown.
  • Add Tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add some red pepper flakes if desired. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Adjust seasonings.
  • Stir in basil.
  • I like to add the meatballs to the finished sauce so that the flavors can meld.
  • If you are using the meatballs only for sandwiches, you can halve the sauce recipe, but if you want sauce for pasta, use full recipe.

CLASSIC MEATBALLS

With a savory blend of meats, flavorful cheese, and garlic, these meatballs are sure to be an instant favorite. The meatballs can be cooked without the sauce: Just reduce the heat to medium once they've browned, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces ground beef chuck (80 percent lean)
8 ounces ground pork
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino Romano cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces (1 cup packed)
1/4 cup whole milk
Basic Red Sauce
Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying (about 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Mix together beef and pork using your hands. Stir in garlic, cheese, parsley, eggs, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; season with pepper. Soak bread in milk for 5 minutes, and then stir into meat mixture. Lightly dampen hands, and roll mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, transferring to a rimmed baking sheet as you work. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Bring sauce to a gentle simmer in a medium pot. Meanwhile, heat oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry meatballs, shaking skillet occasionally, until brown all over, about 6 minutes, and transfer to sauce. Simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. (Test doneness by cutting 1 meatball open.)

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!)
