Ingredients

• 3/4 lb Ground pork
• 3/4 lb Ground beef
• 1 Egg
• 1/3 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 Onion
• 2 cups Tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup Red wine
• 2 tbsp Parsley

Steps

1. Soak the breadcrumbs in a splash of water, squeeze dry, and mix with the meats, egg, half the minced onion, parsley, and plenty of salt — mix gently, just until combined.
2. Roll into golf-ball-size meatballs; overworking makes them dense.
3. Brown the meatballs in olive oil in batches until crusted all over, about 6 minutes; set aside.
4. In the same pan, soften the remaining onion, pour in the wine to deglaze, then add the tomato sauce.
5. Return the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer 20 minutes until cooked through and the sauce clings.
6. Serve with fried potatoes or bread for mopping.
