Serve these bite-size morsels as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre, or combine with pasta or rice for a main course. They're also great stirred into soup.

Ingredients

Salted butter

1½ tsp(s)

White wine

½ fl oz

Olive oil

1½ tsp(s)

Onion

1 large, minced

Uncooked lean ground beef

1 pound(s)

Raw egg

1 large, beaten

Fresh parsley

1 tbsp(s), finely minced (or 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning)

Table salt

¾ tsp(s)

Red pepper flakes

¼ tsp(s)

Canned beef broth

¼ cup(s), or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove onions to a large mixing bowl and add beef, egg, parsley (or Italian seasoning), salt and red pepper flakes; mix well to combine. With damp hands, roll forty-eight 1/2-inch meatballs.

  3. Yields 4 meatballs per serving.
