Joannie
Locricchio's Perfect
Meatballs
Not only
does Joannie Locricchio make
the tastiest Tomato Sauce, but also
the most perfect Meat-a-ball-a.
What's a tomato sauce (called
"gravy" in Brooklyn),
without a great meatball?.
The juices from the meatball flavor the
sauce along with its companions the
Italian sausage and pork ribs.
The meats are browned for
Joannie's Tomato Sauce and then the
entire sauce is created by building
layers of flavors.
Joannie's
meatballs are light and
air not the sinkers that are
sometimes served in some
restaurants. Joannie's
trick is to lightly wet your hands
when rolling the meatball. This
allows all the ingredients to become
moist thus, allowing you to roll the
perfect ball. She prefers to
brown her meatballs in olive oil
on the stove instead of baking in
the oven.
We agree
with her because the
meatball forms a crust in the
frying pan. The crust adds
flavor to the sauce. Whether you
like you meatballs plain or in a sauce
you must try this delicious recipe.
At the Deliciouscookies.com we
alter this recipe by using a
blend of pork, beef and veal chopped
meats instead of simply ground
beef.
