I made homemade meatballs a couple of days ago. It was my first time making homemade Italian meatballs. They came out pretty good. Next time, I hope to improve them. The only change I want to make is to make them a bit salty (I added salt, but the saltiness didn't really reveal itself in the end result). Also, I'll add more red pepper flakes. I added a tiny bit, but I couldn't detect heat from them at all. I'll add a little bit more next time. Perhaps I'll add a little bit extra garlic, too. Just fine tuning. I don't want to over-season them.
The meatballs consisted of:
ground beef (I used 85% lean ground beef)
ground pork
1 large white onion, diced and sauteed with salt until soft, but not brown
some fresh parsley, finely chopped
a good amount of plain breadcrumbs
a good amount of parmasan cheese
fresh garlic, 2 cloves
ground black pepper
ground, coarse salt
3 eggs
water
a tiny amount of spicy red pepper flakes
I think that was everything. The meatballs tasted pretty good, were very moist, and had a good consistency.
