Category: Meatballs

Meatballs
2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup carrots, chopped
3/4 cups celery, chopped
1/2 lb ground chicken
1/2 lb bulk sausage
1 1/4 lb ground beef
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup olives, chopped
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Pepper to taste
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
Panko bread crumbs

Saute the vegetables in the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the meats and cook until done, stirring to break the meat into small pieces. Drain, if needed. Return to the skillet and add the wine. Cook until the wine is absorbed. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the parmesan, 1egg, and the seasonings. Mix well and chill.

Once chilled, form into 1-inch balls. At this point the meatballs can be chilled or frozen. Roll the meatballs in flour, egg and bread crumbs and fry in olive oil until brown. Serve with mayonaise seasoned with Worchesteshire sauce, basil and oregano. Makes 40 meatballs.
