RAO'S MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal and pork in a large bowl. Add eggs, cheese, parsley, garlic and salt & pepper to taste. Using your hands, blend ingredients together. Blend breadcrumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add water, 1 cup at a time, at a time until the mixture is quite moist.
• Shape meat mixture into 6 oz. balls.
• In a large sauté pan, add oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Fry meatballs in batches. When bottom of meatball is very brown and slightly crisp, turn and cook top half. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain.
• Once meatballs have drained any excess oil, place meatballs into simmering Rao's Homemade® Marinara Sauce and cook for 15 minutes or until meatballs are hot through and through.

RAO'S FAMOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the meat and rub the minced garlic into it.
• Press the meat in the bowl.
• Add in this order: Salt, pepper, parsley, 2 eggs and water. Then sprinkle the cheese over the top as if you are going to cover the water. Finally, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese.
• Mix from the outside of the bowl to the middle, folding it inches Do not overmix!
• After the ingredients are mixed, start to roll the meatballs in your hands, about 6 ounces per meatball.
• After your meatballs are rolled, take a 10 inch frying pan and add your oil and the reserved whole clove of garlic and heat. When the clove starts to brown, the oil is ready.
• Fry the meatballs, cooking and flipping until golden brown, about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes per side.
• Remove the meatballs after frying and put on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
• (If you want you can bake the meatballs on a lightly greased tray at 350 degrees-the taste is totally different than frying).
• Add the meatballs to your tomato sauce to finish cooking.
• Let simmer for at least 45-60 minutes.
• Serve with the sauce.

Slowly add up to 2 cups water, 1/2 cup at a time, until the mixture is moist; all the water may not be needed. Shape into 1 1/2 -inch meatballs.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and sauté until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes, then discard the garlic. Working in batches and taking care not to crowd the pan, add meatballs and fry until undersides are brown and slightly crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and brown the other sides, about 5 minutes more. Transfer cooked meatballs to paper towels to drain, then add to the marinara sauce. Mix gently and serve.
