How to make it

  • Combine all for meats in a large bowl and mix so they are one. Soak the hard bread in the broth until completely soft and squeeze out the excess broth. Reserve the extra broth for later. If you don't have hard Italian bread slice a fresh loaf and put it in the oven on warm until completely hard.
  • Using a mini chopper or food processor combine the garlic and parsley and emulsify as much as possible. Mix the eggs, garlic, parsley, and damp bread in a separate bowl. Combine the two bowls now add the cheese and mix.You want to completely incorporate all the flavors. You don't want to over work the mix it makes the meatballs hard. If you find the mix to dry add some of the reserved broth to loosen it.
  • Roll the meatballs and again try not to over work the meat. Then fry the meatballs in oil they are great just like that or in a tomato sauce. If you are going to add them to a pot of sauce leave them slightly under cooked so not to overcook then in the sauce. If you put them in the sauce put them in about 1 hour before on a low heat before serving.

    This is a old family recipe. I have tried the veal just not my cup of meatball. But as you say it's a personal preference.
