New York Style Meatballs | Gizzi Erskine


Foodtubers Hello, I’m Gizzi and welcome in my test kitchen
This is where it all happens
Today I’m going to make classic Italian-American meatballs
Now let’s start with the meatballs
Before I cut out an onion finely
The finer the better, because then the onion is well absorbed into the meat
Olive oil in the pan and then you just throw it in the onion
And we all know that Italian food would not be the same without a huge amount of garlic
I do three cloves in this part of the court
There is also some rosemary
and some fresh thyme
I cut it very fine herbs
Make sure your onions are a little gold
That’s what’s happening now
Okay, we have here a half-and-half mix of pork and beef
You want a classic Italian-American mix of minced
That’s just more interesting and I’m now doing a good amount of salt
and then pepper
And this we go thorough mixing
And they form just to meatballs
I’m going to golf ball-size
And repeat
I want them to cool briefly now because if I’m going to bake now
they might fall apart
Here we go
Good
Okay so I go through three onions with sauce
I’m going to cut some kind of coarse
Olive oil, hot pan, I do all these onions in it
and we are going to cook again gently
We put the heat slightly now
And the lid
Because then they will smother herein
And now, really a whole bulb of garlic
Do not worry about, it is good, this kind of food is needed garlic
Believe me, it really adds something to
And the nice thing is that it all boils together
I’m going to now simmer for 10-15 minutes
The flavor than tenfold
What makes this sauce is very special that I use a mix of fresh tomatoes
and canned tomatoes
and inside there is a mix of roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes
I just cut into quarters
So this has now boiled for about 15 minutes
It is very soft and that’s exactly what we want
I’m now the tomatoes at
Normal people would they might have done in a bowl
But this is much more fun, especially with the cherry tomatoes go anywhere
So there is also a can of tomatoes in
And then a good tablespoon tomato paste
And then some sherry vinegar, I would say a good two tablespoons
About one tablespoon sugar
And then let it cook about 40 minutes
Until it is boiled and looks full of flavor
These have now located about an hour in the refrigerator, while the cooked sauce
The sauce has now boiled 40 minutes
And it looks absolutely amazing
I pour the sauce here, leaving it completely smooth puree
And now that we do a lot of basil in
And we put it back on the heat
Basil. If you two minutes before the end of cooking add makes such a difference
So meatballs, hot pan, ready to go
This is the sound you want, we want them to sizzle
So we lay there just in
A good tip is to put them in they clockwise so you know what it first went in
And then you can run them in that order
It is very important that they are good colors
I’ll let you have what it looks like
I mean, that looks good
Because it’s a ball and you want to keep them in that form
you do have to turn over several times 2 or 3 times to maintain form
I stir it just to they keep their shape
And then they can with the sauce
And it sounds
It even sounds good I’m game
So we stir this moment to
And then I still cook for 10 minutes
Water with a good amount of salt
If you do all this trouble for meatballs
I personally would only buy good fresh tagiatelle
This cooks in minutes
So this is just in
And you want your pasta has some solidity – al dente
Overcooked bite, say
You do not want pasta is cooked too long
I drain it as well
Shake well
And then I do it for now back in the pan
A little olive oil and a little more salt
the pasta and treat them as if – they call them noodles
Italian restaurants in the US – it just prevents them from sticking together
A bar is very handy when you cook pasta
They make everything just easier
I create some meatballs on top
4 to 6 balls per person
And has there Parmesan at
Some more pepper
And that’s it
These are my meatballs in sauce, real mafioso-style
This sauce is incredible
This is the taste of New York
