Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 lb ground veal
  • 3 clove garlic minced
  • 3 T onion chopped fine
  • 1/2 c Italian parsley chopped fine

I had the idea for this mini-Italian meatball recalling something from a Molto Mario show when we lived in New York. I couldn't find the recipe, so I made it up.

When I make it, I do a double recipe and freeze a portion or two. It also reheats nicely.

Method

  1. bring together ingredients
  2. roll into balls approximately the size of a ping pong ball
  3. get a frying pan hot with olive oil
  4. roll balls in seasoned flour and start frying
  5. cook for about 5 min on medium until browned

When ready to serve, add about 3 cups of your favourite tomato sauce to the pan, once bubbling, add the meatballs and heat thought.

Serve on pasta.

HINT: this freezes nicely.
