Paul and I both have the amazing fortune of having wonderful mothers who just happen to be great chefs too. We are always delighted with their home-cooked meals and they are an equally incredible source for great recipes and cooking tips. We were lucky to have my mom in town recently, and therefore gifted with not only her lovely presence, but some delicious cooking as well. We asked her to share her meatball recipe as it is such a great staple comfort food, and we all know comfort = mom. The recipe for these meatballs is authentic and has been passed down from Italian family friends. They are delicious in any pasta dish and also make a perfect bite-sized appetizer. We used all organic ingredients for this recipe.

1. Finely dice the onions and garlic and sautee in olive oil until translucent and set aside.
2. Combine with the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. The consistency should allow you to ball the meat without it falling apart.
3. Form golf ball-sized rounds and place in a frying pan with olive oil on medium heat to cook. The outsides should be a lightly browned. Slice one of the rounds open to make sure they are cooked through.
Happy Tasting,
Paul/a
