Braised Meatballs In Red-wine Gravy Recipe

	Conner909 / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago I just love this recipe! It’s one of my very favorite main dish recipes and there isn’t even any garlic in it. I think it has to do with the wine, don’t you? Prep:60m Cook:60m Servings:6	Conner909

Ingredients

1 6-ounce piece day-old French bread (generous 1/3 of a 16-ounce loaf),

bread cut into 8 pieces

1 cup whole milk

1 ¾ pounds ground beef (7% to15% fat)

2 large eggs

1 medium onion, finely chopped

½ cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh

Italian parsley

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried summer savory

****

All-purpose flour

****

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

1 ½ teaspoons olive oil

2 cups dry red wine

¼ cup tomato paste

3 cups canned beef broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine bread pieces and whole milk in medium bowl,

pressing on bread to submerge; let stand until milk is

absorbed, about 10 minutes. Squeeze out most of the

milk from bread; discard milk. Place bread into large bowl.

Add ground beef, eggs, finely chopped onion, ½ cup chopped

Italian parsley, salt, pepper and dried summer savory and

mix well. Transfer meat mixture to food processor. Process until

well blended and mixture looks pasty. Form mixture into

1 ¾-inch-diameter meatballs (about 30.) Divide meatballs

between two 13x9x2-inch glass baking dishes. Bake meatballs

30 minutes. Set meatballs aside.

Dust meatballs with flour; shake off excess. Melt butter with oil

in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in

batches, add meatballs to skillet and sauté until brown on all

sides, about 3 minutes. Return all meatballs to skillet. Whisk

wine and tomato paste in small bowl to blend. Add wine mixture

to meatballs and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until wine

thickens slightly, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.

Add broth, reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors

Blend and gravy thickens, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer meatballs and gravy

to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.

(Ok, I serve with pasta...big surprise!)
