Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 med onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup each ground beef, ground pork and ground veal
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4 Tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 4 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 24 - 2 oz fresh mozzarella balls
- salt and pepper
- 6 cups marinara sauce
Preparation
Step 1
Soak the bread crumbs in milk for 10 minutes. Heat the olive oil and cook the onion for a few minutes, then let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the meats, soaked bread crumbs, onion, egg, Parmigiano, herbs and salt and pepper. Shape into 1-1/2" balls. Stuff a mozzarella ball into the center of each meatball, making sure none of them peek out and spoil the surprise.
Fry the meatballs in a little more olive oil until browned on all sides. Add the marinara sauce and simmer another 10 to 15 minutes.
