I love to cook, and I love to find new recipes for tasty things. So why not have a thread on Jul for all recipes, both original and ones you've discovered elsewhere. Share your favorite recipes here!
I'll start with one I've made quite a bit recently: meatballs! This one is actually based off of an Ina Garten recipe, altered a bit to my own tastes. Check it out: -------------------------------- ROBBIE'S FAVORITE MEATBALLS 1 lb ground beef (85% lean) 1/2 pound ground pork 1/2 ground veal 1 3/4 cups Italian breadcrumbs 1/2 cup grated Pecorino & Romano cheese (plus extra for serving) 3 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons oregano 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 3/4 cup dry red wine (I prefer Cabernet Sauvignon or Chianti) 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 jars marinara sauce (I like Rao's best, but any will do) Salt and pepper to taste 1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. 2) Place beef, pork, and veal in a large mixing bowl and lightly break up the meats with your fingertips and a fork. 3) Add the eggs, garlic, oregano, pecorino & romano cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. 4) Add the wine and 3/4 cup water and mix gently but thoroughly. 5) Scoop out the mixture into balls (about 2 oz each) and place them on the pans. Brush the meatballs with the olive oil. 6) Bake the meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned. Pour the marinara into a large pot and bring to a simmer. 7) Carefully add the meatballs and simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve with the rest of the grated pecorino romano cheese to taste or your favorite pasta. Makes approximately 26-30 meatballs. |
