SICILIAN MEATBALLS "THE ART OF SICILIAN COOKING"

Recipe is doubled.   

I just can't see making a small amount for all that work. These are my favorites but I think the spinach ones are great too.

           Ingredients:
3  pounds  ground beef

     ( I use beef and turkey which reduces the fat content while the beef adds to the flavor)

2  medium onions

2  cups bread crumbs

       ( I used seasoned but I am going to try Panko bread crumbs next time.)

2/3  cup  Romano Cheese

2/3  cup chopped fresh parsley              

4  eggs                                                      

3  teaspoons  salt                                                  

2  teaspoons  freshly ground black pepper              

6  cloves of minced garlic
6 T olive oil ( for frying)     I BAKE MINE.  NEVER FRY THEM.


           Directions:

FRYING.  Fry in oil until brown,  3 to 5 minutes and turn over and do other side. 

BAKING.  Prepare baking pan with foil with slits for draining off fat.  Or use a cooking cooking rack inside the pan.

Bake in oven  at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes.  They will look brown on top.

Drain. Cool.  Can be easily frozen in plastic bags for future use.

Cook in sauce for about 10 to 30 minutes before serving.
