Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 slice whole wheat bread (toast-size), toasted to a medium-brown (or use Gluten Free bread if you need)
1/4 to 1/3 cup 60 ml milk or water
1.5 lb/680.389 g lean ground beef
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium eggs
1 tsp/2.36 g ground cumin
1/2 tsp/1.3 g ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp/0.6 g dried oregano
1/2 cup/17 g chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
Drizzle Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup/118.294 ml dry red wine
30 oz/850.486 g canned tomato sauce (that's 2 15-oz cans of sauce)
1 bay leaf
3/4 tsp/1.77 g ground cumin
1/2 tsp/1.3 g cinnamon
1/2 tsp 2 g sugar
Salt and Pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, place the toasted bread and cover with milk (or water) to soak. When bread is soft and well-soaked, squeeze the liquid out completely and discard remaining milk if any.
  • Transfer the bread to a large mixing bowl. Add round beef and remaining meatball ingredients. Knead well until well-combined. Cover the meat mixture and rest in the fridge for now.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • While oven is heating, prepare the sauce. In a sauce pan or large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes or so. Add garlic and cook for another minute, stirring regularly. Now add red wine and cook to reduce by about 1/2, then add tomato sauce, bay leaf and remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Prepare a large baking dish and lightly oil the bottom with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Take the meat mixture out of the fridge. Wet your hands and scoop portions of about 2 1/2 tbsp of the meat mixture and form into large elongated meatballs (football-shaped.) You should have 15 to 16 meatballs or so. Arrange meatballs in the papered baking dish and top with the sauce (be sure to have removed the bay leaf from the sauce.)
  • Place the baking dish on the middle rack of your heated oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the meatballs are well cooked through (check part-way through to make sure sauce is not dry, and if needed, add a little bit of water to the bottom of the baking dish.)
  • Remove from oven and add another drizzle of EVOO. Garnish with parsley and serve over rice or orzo.
