Another Mimi’s delight; this is one of the best meatball recipes I’ve devoured. – me.
Meatballs
• 2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 large egg
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed (or ½ beef)
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
• 2 tablespoons dried currants
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil baking sheet. Mix crumbs and milk in medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Mix in Parmesan, onion, basil, egg, garlic and pepper. Add sausage, pine nuts and currants; blend well. Using wet hands, form mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place on baking sheet. Bake until meatballs are light brown and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Add to store bought tomato sauce.
