Meatballs

Meatballs are a great treat and can be used in many different ways. they can go on top of mini-pizzas, they are a great appetizer with a dipping sauce, or the good ol' spaghetti and meatballs. 

Ingredients

1 lb of ground sirloin

3 tablespoons of chopped parsley

2 cloves of chopped garlic

1/2 finely chopped red onion

1 egg

1 generous hand full of parmesan cheese

1 hand full of italian breadcrumbs. 

In a saute pan, add the onion and garlic. while they cook down (until translucent) you can start mixing in all the other ingredients in a separate bowl. Once again, do not over mix or "squish" the meat as it will change the texture and make the meatball grainy. Once your onion and garlic are cooked, let them cool and add them to the mixture. As for myself, I like the meatballs to all come out as the same size so I will get the tablespoon size measuring spoon and form them with that measurement. Just roll them one at a time in your hands until it gets the shape of a ball. Next in the same saute pan that you sauteed the onions and garlic in you are going to sear the meat balls on each side until cooked. They should only take 2-3 minutes on each side but your nose will tell you when they are done. Once this is done add them to whatever sause or dish you would like and enjoy!
