TRENTINO SOUTH TYROL - Polpette alla Trentina (Italian Meatballs)

SKU:

Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 21 oz lean beef
• 14 oz Viaggio Italian peeled tomatoes
• 3.5 oz chopped almonds
• 1 cup dry white wine
• Breadcrumbs, as needed
• Milk, to taste
• 2 eggs
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Flour, for dusting
• A bunch of parsley, chopped
• Oil, for frying
• Viaggio extra-virgin olive oil, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, chopped almonds, and chopped parsley.
2. Soak the breadcrumbs in milk, squeeze out the excess liquid, and add them to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix everything together until smooth.
3. Shape the mixture into medium-sized meatballs, lightly flour them, and fry in hot oil for a few minutes until browned. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. In a large frying pan, heat two tablespoons of Viaggio extra-virgin olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden.
5. Add the Viaggio Italian peeled tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes.
6. Gently add the fried meatballs to the pan, sprinkle with white wine, and simmer over medium heat for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

BUON APPETITO!
