Bona Furtuna Marinara Sauce with Meatballs

 


THE MARKET MEATBALLS

 

INGREDIENTS

3 lbs ground pork
3 lbs ground veal
3 lbs ground beef
1/2 loaf sourdough bread - insides only
5 eggs
5 cups whole milk
2 cups Bona Furtuna Heritage Blend Sicilian Olive Oil
2 tbsp Wild Foraged Fennel Pollen
2 tbsp Aglio E Oglio Herb Blend
3 cups shredded Parmigianno-Reggiano
1 bunch Italian leaf parsley
  Sea salt to taste


DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together, set aside. On a cutting board, slice the crust off of the Sourdough loaf, leaving only the inside of the bread; rip insides of bread into small bits. Add bread bits to the egg/milk mixture and massage with your hands until softened.
  2. Place ground pork, ground veal, and ground beef into a mixing bowl and blend with a paddle attachment until well incorporated.
  3. Add blended meat mixture to a 4” hotel pan. Season with sea salt. Pour egg/milk/bread mixture over top of the meat mixture. Sprinkle shredded Parmigianno-Reggiano, Wild Foraged Fennel Pollen, Aglio e Oglio Herb Blend, and finish with Heritage Blend Olive Oil. Proceed to fold all ingredients together in the pan with your hands. Once mostly incorporated, add 1 bunch of finely chopped Italian Flat leaf Parsley. Mix again with your hands until the Parsley is well distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Heat the pan on a stovetop with olive oil over medium heat, add two test balls into the pan and cook until golden brown on the outside. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. On a sheet pan lined with parchment, roll out the meatball mixture into balls using a 1/3 cup measuring cup to portion each ball. Place sheet pan in 375℉ convection oven and roast until golden brown and sizzling on the outside.
  6. Place meatballs in your favorite Bona Furtuna Marinara Sauce and serve with your favorite Bona Furtuna Pasta- (Or let cool and vacuum seal in bags for later use!) Mangiamo!
