    Growing up Italian we know the difference between eating them fried before they get simmered in sauce, and the way most people think of them...cooked in sauce. I love them both ways, but wow how nice to have them just plain fried with a dash of the cooking oil & drippings over them on Italian bread. My grown kids still come home asking for a fried meatballs and a green salad with oil and vinegar for dinner. It makes me happy to do it :)

    • @tenebrisrex333
      @tenebrisrex333 7 лет назад +4

      Truth but I actually prefer the slow cook in the gravy. The fry toughens the meatballs so they don't get any of that beautiful tomato mix. I might make them fried if it's a dish that stands alone. Looks beautiful though, mangia!

    Clemenza, that was great...thanks for the video...you're such a good Italian chef!!! I always fry my meatballs in olive oil and they come out great. i also use chopped onion in mine too. Lately I started using Panko bread crumbs and wet bread and they come out great...not too dry and not too moist. I sometimes used bread crumbs alone just to change it up, but they were a little dry but not bad (used less).
    Thanks again chef...

      I would do the same, fry them up for a but I would drop them in the sauce as it came a boil. I would put pieces of mozzarella on the inside of the meatballs. That was my secret when I had a date over for dinner. If you show you care about the food, she knows you care about her!

  • @Kendallian132
    @Kendallian132 2 года назад +1

    I like the dried dehydrated onion and garlic idea. I'm going to pick some up at Demoulas the next time I go shopping and utilize it in my next batch of meatballs. I have to admit though; I don't fry them ahead. Just put them right in the sauce to cook, which I find captures the flavor from the fat rather than leave it behind in the pan. But that's just me. Either way, those look fantastic.
