The Family Meatballs
Girls Got to Eat with Tammi Weed
Episode #101 – The Family Meatballs
Ease of Preparation: EASY (Two steps: assembling the meatball and sautéing it)
Timing: Prep 25 – 30 minutes, Cook 6 – 8 minutes
Serves: 6
In a large mixing bowl, add your meat, your breadcrumbs and so on. We add it in the order of the ingredient list. The most important thing is to make sure the ingredients are mixed together well.
Now, we’re ready to roll! We try to get 12 meatballs per pound. For reference, try to roll yours slightly smaller than a golf ball. Keep your meatballs compact and uniform.
In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of olive oil on medium-high. Once at the med-high heat, add one meatball. If the oil sizzles, you are good to add the rest of the meatballs.
Pro Tip: Make sure you’re not overcrowding the skillet as you will need room to turn them. Depending on the size of your skillet, you should be able to fit 8-12 meatballs in one skillet or sauté pan.
In terms of doneness, our general gauge is 3 minutes per side. We want to make sure there’s a nice brown crust on your meatball.
Once your meatballs have been turned you can add to your sauce or let them cool and freeze them for future meals.
