…put’em in your mouth and suck’em…
Probably one of the greatest tunes to come out of a cartoon.
Anyway the balls I am referring to are my tasty Italian meat balls, the recipe is below:
Take some Onion and Garlic, enough to season the meat balls, roughly one large onion and a few gloves of garlic. Dice the onion and garlic finely and fry off with a little chilli to taste. This makes sure the onion in the meat balls is cooked.
In a large mixing bowl, add two crustless slices of bread, and pour on a little milk until the bread has absorbed it, then add 800 grammes of lean beef mince, two eggs, the fried onions, salt, pepper and some basil/italian type mixed herbs. Mix this together until it is well blended.
Wet your hands and roll the mix into small (4cm) balls and place in a oven dish, you might get up to 18 balls out of the mix. Place in the oven at full heat.
Now make a basic Italian tomator sauce, so fry off onions and garlic again, add some chilli to taste, once the onion is cooked add two tins of chopped tomatoes and add more mixed/Italian herbs. One the sauce is simmering pour over the meat balls, and return to the oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
Spread some grated cheese over the balls after ten minutes and leave.
Ten minutes before serving, boil up some pasta, to serve it with.
