Yield 60 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound ground veal
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
4 slices white sandwich bread, torn
1½ cups milk
3 eggs
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1 cup grated pecorino cheese
6 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1½ cups tipo 00* flour or all-purpose flour
¼ cup grapeseed oil

Steps:

Combine the veal, pork, beef, bread, milk, eggs, 2 cups Parmesan, pecorino, 6 tablespoons parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic in a stand mixer fitted with the flat blade. Mix on medium-low speed for 1 minute. Scoop out ⅛-cup pieces of meat and gently roll them between your hands into balls about the size of a golf ball. The meat will be soft, so don't compress it too much. Put the flour in a bowl and toss the meatballs in the flour as you work. Heat the grapeseed oil over medium heat in a large skillet and, working in batches, add the floured balls, cooking them until golden brown all over, 8 to 10 minutes total. The internal temperature should be about 155°F. Divide the meatballs among plates; sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley. *you can buy this flour from King Arthur Flour - it is called Italian-style flour
