Machine, meatballs! Saw some veal mince on sale so decided to give it a try and make meatballs. Brought some beef mince as well and split it 60% veal vs 40% beef. Rather than use egg to bind it, saw a recipe that recommended a slice of bread soaked in about 6 tbsps of milk, turned into a mush and then mixed with the mince, sautéed onions, crushed garlic, chilli and generous seasoning of salt and pepper.
Roll the mince into balls, keeping palms a little damp with water to keep the mince from sticking to fingers. I've been making them the size of chocolate truffles, but you can make them bigger. Fry off in a hot pan, trying to keep them moving so they don't stick to the pan. Fry them for a couple of minutes, then reserve. Make a tomato sauce of your choosing, mines usually onions garlic chilli fried off, chopped tomatoes added, sprinkle of sugar but of salt and let the sauce bubble away. Drop in the meatballs to finish cooking in the sauce and let it thicken. Put some spaghetti/tagliatelle on and then combine with some Parmesan...
As Gordon Ramsay would say, meatballs done!
