How to Make Gordon Ramsay Meatball Recipe
Don’t Overmixing the ground beef and pork mixture; it will make meatballs too dense and hard. It may not be the most pleasant, but it very important to mix and form the meatballs with your hands. It will help you combine all the added ingredients quickly and gently handly when from the meatballs. I also suggest whisking the eggs before placing them to the mixing bowl so that it blends more evenly.
Step 1. In a med-sized bowl add the breadcrumbs, then pour in just enough milk to cover and Place aside to letting breadcrumbs to soak. Pre-Heat oven at 350°F.
Step 2. Start making the sauce, by heating the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a fry-pan and lightly fry the chopped shallots, pepper and garlic for about 2-3 minutes until translucent and soft.
Step 3. add the 2 14oz cans of tomatoes along with the basil, oregano and some seasoning this with a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan. Let the tomato sauce slowly simmer for about 10-15 minutes so its sauce can reduce and thicken.
Step 4. As the sauce is simmering, make the meatballs. Place the ground pork and beef into a large-sized mixing bowl and now the chopped garlic, Parmesan and parsley. Now with your hands Press the breadcrumbs and takeout the excess milk and add them to the mixing bowl with ground meats. thoroughly mix, working with your hands, then season meatballs with the salt and pepper.
Step 5. Start Shaping the blend into balls, the size of a golf ball, dust them with the flour. Now in a frying pan heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, start frying the meatballs, in batches of 4-5 as to not overcrowd, Fry until golden.
Step 6. After Frying the Meatballs add them to the sauce, after finishing cooking in sauce place meatballs into a casserole dish. Put casserole dish in a 350°F preheated oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serve with your favorite pasta as a side dish or with a light salad.
