polpettine

Basically, you just make the standard Abrusci meatball mix (we usually like pork or a pork/beef mixture). Mix the meat with breadcrumbs, eggs, salt pepper, fresh parsley and grated cheese. Roll them into tini meatballs slightly larger than a marble then quickly drop them in a pot of hot oil for just a minute or two till they brown evenly. Drain them on a paper towl and from here they go GREAT in a tomato sauce, add them to any soup, serve them at a party with a couple toothpicks, or just snack on them the way they are. If youre worried about frying then just bake them on a cookie sheet. Kids will love them, they're so delicious and just fun for any dinner.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
