Ma's Spicy Garlic Meatballs
This is a recipe I got from my favorite web comic:
Alaska's Coolest Paintball Webcomic!
Confusing the hell out of nonplayers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since 2002.
I've got my questions about 10 BULBS of garlic for 1/2 pound of beef, but other than that, these meatballs rock. I usually use a couple of cloves.
-dr jest
In a heavy skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, SAUTE:
10 bulbs ( not cloves) of garlic, separated, peeled, and
smashed with a wooden mallet
When soft and pungent, add;
1 sweet Mayan onion, peeled and diced finely
Remove from heat and allow to cool
Meanwhile, in a 2 quart or larger bowl, mix;
1/2 Lb. lean ground beef, 2 eggs well beaten, 3 Tbsp. heavy cream,
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce, 4Tbsp. Tabasco (red or green), and
1/2 Lb. dried bread crumbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well, add cooled onion and garlic, and with relatively clean hands
make balls the size of golf balls.
Brown formed meatballs in skillet, adding olive oil as necessary.
Cook, turning, until all sides of meatballs are browned.
Serves one or two, depending upon species.
