Grandma Maronis Meatballs 100 Year Old Recipe - From Mike Maroni
1 pound ground chuck
4 oz dried bread crumbs
4 large eggs
4 oz whole milk (I omitted this ingredient)
6 oz grated Romano (I used 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan)
3 oz grated Spanish onion (I used 1/2 of a yellow onion)
2 oz finely diced fresh garlic (I used 4 cloves)
2 oz finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves (I used 1.5 tablespoons dried)
2 oz finely chopped fresh basil leaves (I omitted this ingredient)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. If mixture seems a little loose add more bread crumbs.
- Roll meatballs loosely about the size of a golf ball and place on baking sheet. Place into preheated oven for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Enjoy!
6 ounces good olive oil, not extra-virgin
12 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 large or 2 medium Spanish onions, finely diced
2 (28-ounce) cans imported crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white or black pepper
1 large handful julienned fresh basil leaves
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add oil.
- Once heated add the finely sliced garlic and onions to the pan.
- Cook over medium heat until soft and slightly brown.
- Next add the canned crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper and stir. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the julienned basil.
