The Best Meatball Recipe | Home Movies with Alison Roman

Описание: In the first episode of Home Movies with Alison Roman (that's me), I'm going to be showing you how I make meatballs from my newsletter, cleverly titled, "A Newsletter." While a lot of my recipes are inspired by something FUN and WONDERFUL, these ones were inspired by.....something, uh, not great. Anyway, I won't say this is the ONLY way to make meatballs, but I do think it's the BEST. There's isn’t really a “secret” to them, but there are two important steps that make a huge difference:

1. Using bread crumbs instead of fresh bread, and soaking them in a mixture of ricotta and egg for at least 10 minutes. This is essentially the “soak milk in bread” step you’ll find in many meatball recipes, but instead of soaking the bread in milk, soak it in cheese. Cheese is better than milk. Simple math. This means the meatballs will be richer, more flavorful with the added bonus of never having to say "now I'm going to soak milk in bread."

2. Searing the meatballs in the pot, then making the sauce. Meatballs done on a sheet pan are not bad, but they are not browned, and the browning is what is going to not only make our meatballs taste amazing, but the sauce, too (and yes, I've tested side by side, and YES there IS a difference!). Doing them in a pot is more work, sure, but you reap the rewards in the form of fat and juicy bits and browned, delicious meat that all flavor your tomato sauce as you finish gently cooking the meatballs.
