Итальянские Митболы (Фрикадельки) в Томатном Соусе | Italian Meatballs | Tanya Shpilko

Delicious Italian meatballs, or meatballs with cheese, herbs, and garlic in a fragrant tomato sauce, according to the recipe of Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo. Sauce: 1 small onion half a carrot celery stalk and red hot pepper (optional) 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional) ~50 ml red wine 2 cans (~800 g) tomatoes in their own juice salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp sugar (or more to taste) 1 tsp basil Meatballs: 500 g ground pork and beef (or only beef) 1 tsp salt and pepper to taste 2-3 cloves garlic a handful of parsley (~20 g) 3 tbsp (~30 g) grated Parmesan 1 egg 1 (~70 g) cup fresh breadcrumbs 1 tbsp olive oil 1) For the sauce: finely chop the onion and carrot (or celery and pepper, if desired). Sauté over medium heat for a couple of minutes, pour in the wine, let the alcohol evaporate for a couple of minutes, and then add the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, add sugar for a balanced flavor, and basil (or dried garlic, if desired). Let it simmer gently over low heat while you cook the meatballs, 10-15 minutes. 2) Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Form small walnut-sized balls and place them on a floured surface. Lightly dust the top with flour as well. Fry in a preheated skillet over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes on one side until golden brown. Then flip them over, cover with a lid, and let them cook for another five minutes over low heat. They don't need to be fully cooked, as they will simmer in the sauce for a while. You can bake them in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes, then finish cooking them in the sauce. No need to sprinkle flour for this. 3) Meanwhile, puree the sauce with a blender until smooth. Add the meatballs and let them cook for another 10-15 minutes over low heat. You can cover with a lid, but don't let the sauce boil vigorously.
