• 份量: 6 servings
• 准备时间: 20 minutes
• 总时间: 3 hours 30 minutes

配料

4 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes (hand crushed or blender pulsed)

1 6-ounce can tomato paste

1/2 cup (120g) olive oil

1 medium onion (diced)

1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 pound (454g) ground chuck

1 pound (454g) ground pork

1 1/2 cups (150g) plain breadcrumbs

3/4 cup (68g) grated Parmigiano Reggiano

1/2 cup minced flat-leaf Italian parsley

2-3 large eggs (beaten)

3 cloves garlic (paste)

2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

步骤

For The Sauce

Coat the bottom of a large heavy pot with a 1/2 cup of olive oil and saute the onions on medium-low heat until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the tomato paste to the onions and cook for 5 minutes, spreading the paste around with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water if the paste starts to burn.

Add in all the hand crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir the sauce until incorporated and cook on a low simmer with the lid left slightly ajar. Stir the sauce every so often (very important!) to avoid sticking. The sauce should cook on low heat for at least 2.5 to 3 hours but longer will be better.

For The Meatballs

Add the beef and ground pork to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.

To the meat, add the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, parsley and garlic paste. Pour 2 beaten eggs in and gently mix everything together. If the mixture is too dry, add one more egg to the mix.

With wet hands roll approximately 2" diamter meatballs. The meatballs can be baked on a sheet pan with wire rack at 375F for 25-30 minutes or until brown in the middle of oven.

Place the browned meatballs in the sauce and cook for a minimum of 1 hour on low heat to allow the meatballs to absorb the flavor and braise in the sauce.

When the meatballs are finished, serve with choice of pasta, grated cheese and Italian bread. Enjoy!
