These are the lightest meatballs I have ever made. They melt in your mouth. The trick is not to sqeeze the meat when you form them.

Ingredients
  • 1/3 c milk
  • 1 slice of white bread
  • 1 lb lean chopped beef
  • 1 T finely chopped shallots
  • 1 T chopped parsley
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • small pinch of nutmeg
  • 3 T grated Romano cheese
  • Canola Oil for frying
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • Panco bread crumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs made from bread without the crust) Unflavored bread crumbs will work also
  • Tomato Sauce

Directions
  1. Place milk and bread in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and mash then cool
  2. Place the beef, shallots, parsley, egg, nutmeg, Romano cheese, 1 T olive oil, the bread mush, salt and cayenne in a large bowl.
  3. Mix together gently with your hands.
  4. Shape into 3/4 inch balls but do not squeeze.
  5. Roll each in the breadcrumbs and place on a paper towel
  6. Place approximately 1/2 inch of oil into a large skillet and heat until the oil is very hot.
  7. Slide each meatbal gently into the skillet (do not drop so as not to splash the hot oil).
  8. Gently turn the meatballs when each side is crusty so that they do not break up.
  9. When browned on all sides, remove from skillet and drain the oil.
  10. Add about 2 cups of sauce to the skillet and return the meatballs.
  11. spoon the sauce over the meatballs and cover the skillet.
  12. Cook for about 25 minutes, turning the meatballs gently so they do not break apart.
