Making Meatballs with Aprilanne!
Why “Meatballs?” I began my quest for a chef to cook MEATBALLS with me on the show since I found out how “hungry” people are for real, authentic, Italian recipes by the popularity of my Grandma Rose’s MEATBALL Recipe . And thanks to my Italian heritage - I’ve got a lifetime of great, authentic Italian recipes to share so consider MEATBALLS just the beginning of the many good things to come!
There are some things in life you just can’t live without - like Grandma Rose’s Authentic Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti Sauce!
Now while I have 2 Meatball Recipes to share with you - the first is my Grandma Rose’s Recipe since it is recipe to make the Meatballs I grew up on…which has been handed down generation after generation. The secret ingredient in this recipe is the hot dog roles (yes you read that right!) which are soaked in milk prior to mixing in with the meat to give these meatballs that delectable softness Grandma Rose’s Meatballs are famous for.
The 2nd recipe is courtesy of Sonoma County Chef Graziano Perozzi who, graciously showed us how to “make meatballs” on California Living Prime Time - which can be viewed in the video player above for an easy step by step account of how to…make Meatballs!
Graziano’s Meatballs, unlike Grandma Rose’s, don’t call for any bread or breadcrumbs. Are they still soft and delicious? Why not make both recipes and you be the judge…and if you are so inclined - drop us a note to let us know your vote on which recipe makes the better Meatball - Enjoy! Aprilanne
