Lamb Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with Fresh Ricotta

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

¼ cup EVOO
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 filets anchovies
sprig of basil plus more for garnish
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 can San Marzano tomatoes
¼ cup pitted kalamata olives
½ tsp cayenne pepper
Sea salt and pepper
1 clove garlic
1 shallot
1 tsp preserved lemon rind
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup almonds, soaked in water for 4 hours, then strained
1 tablespoon each of chopped sage, parsley and rosemary
1 pound ground lamb
2 tbsp sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh ricotta

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic, shallot, preserved lemon and olive oil in a food processor or high speed blender, and puree. Add the herbs and the almonds and pulse until the almonds are chopped up, but still coarse. Transfer to a mixing bowl and fold into the ground lamb. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and then form into even balls roughly the size of golf balls.
  • Carefully add the meatballs into the simmering sauce and braise gently until the meatballs read 145 F at the center with a meat thermometer (roughly 15 minutes.)
  • Serve in a large platter with dollops of fresh ricotta, a drizzle of fruity olive oil and sprigs of purple basil.

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Heat a high sided skillet or frying pan over a medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan and gently sweat the onions and garlic until they are translucent and soft, but not coloured. Once cooked, spoon the onion and garlic out into a small bowl and set aside to cool. If adding bacon to the meatballs, cook the bacon in the skillet first and set aside, then sauté the onions and garlic in half the bacon fat. Reserve the pan for making the sauce.
  • Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Drizzle with the olive oil and salt and pepper and place on a tray cut side down and roast for 30 minutes while the meatballs cook. Once the squash is cooked, use a fork to scoop the strands from the skin. Season with some more salt and pepper if necessary and a knob of butter.
  • Meanwhile make the sauce, use the skillet that you cooked the onions and garlic in, gently sauté the onions and garlic until they’re fragrant and soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the onions are just starting to turn golden, about another 8 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up any golden bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine come to a boil and reduce for about 1 minute.
