ACINI DI PEPE SALAD



Acini di Pepe Salad image

Acini di pepe is the Italian word for peppercorns. Any tiny round-shaped pasta works well in this chilled fruit salad. Great in the summer, but my family asks for it every holiday. Every time I bring this to a party I get requests for the recipe.

  • First, it's time to prepare the meatballs. In a large bowl, mix together the beef, minced onion, 1 garlic clove, cheese, bread crumbs, basil, parsley, ¼ teaspoon salt, and egg until combined.
  • By hand or with a cookie scoop, roll the meat into roughly 1/2-inch balls. You should be left with about 14 mini meatballs. Place the balls onto a cookie sheet and freeze until firm to the touch (about 30 minutes). If you want to make them ahead of time and freeze them for a few days, place the balls in a ziploc bag.
  • While the meatballs are freezing, grab a large pot to get the soup started. Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and a big pinch of salt. Cook until softened, or about 5 minutes. Add the remaining garlic clove and cook for about a minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.

ACINI DE PEPE SOUP - BIGOVEN
Acini de Pepe Soup recipe: A soup that I created when I went a restaurant that had Italian Wedding Soup.

I tried to recreate it at home--not perfectly, but enough that we have this dish every couple of weeks.
