TRADITIONAL SICILIAN MEATBALLS (PRUPETTI)
The best authentic and traditional Sicilian meatballs (prupetti) recipe is of course my mom's! These meatballs are soft, moist and cheesy and not at all dry. Simmer them in a fragrant tomato sauce that you will serve tossed with pasta and enjoy the meatballs as a second course for the ultimate, perfect Sunday lunch. I'm sharing all my mom's tips for the perfect meatballs!

MEATBALL PIZZA, SICILIAN-STYLE
Square pizzas are great for anyone who doesn't have a pizza stone: We are going to stretch the dough over a greased baking sheet, then let the dough rise again before topping it with homemade meatballs and a roasted pepper honey.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- For the pizza: Grease the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch rimmed baking sheet with the oil. Use your fingers to spread and stretch the dough super thin to fill the baking sheet. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until the dough is slightly puffed, about 1 hour.
- For the roasted pepper honey: Place the pepper over an open flame over high heat. Roast, using tongs to turn on all sides, until completely black, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pepper to a paper bag (or to a large bowl covered with plastic), fold the bag closed and steam, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a cutting board, cut in half and scrape out and discard the seeds. Turn the pepper over and use a kitchen towel to wipe the charred skin from the outside (do not rinse). Add the pepper, honey, oil, crushed red pepper flakes if using and salt to taste to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside or keep in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1 cup.
- Gently spread the tomato sauce on top of the dough, then top with the mozzarella. Break the meatballs into small pieces and layer on top of the pizza. Sprinkle with half the basil and drizzle with olive oil. Top with half the pecorino and the oregano.
- Bake until crisped and browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on the stove over medium heat to gently fry the bottom of the pizza until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining basil and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the roasted pepper honey and additional olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining pecorino, slice the hot pizza and serve immediately.
- Combine the bread, milk and pepper to taste in a large bowl and mix with your hands until a paste forms. Add the beef, pork, veal, pecorino, garlic, egg, parsley and a pinch each salt and pepper, then use your hands to gently combine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop about six 1-inch chunks of the meatball mixture into the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned, 6 to 7 minutes total. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meatballs to a kitchen towel or plate and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Repeat with the remaining oil and meatball mixture or freeze: Arrange the remaining uncooked meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen uncooked meatballs to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container and store up to 2 months. Makes 20 meatballs.
FAMILY SICILIAN SAUCE AND MEATBALLS
My mother's family originally came from Sicily and every family member makes his or her own version - this version came most recently via Brooklyn. If there are any leftovers, they freeze very well. MANGIA! Serve with red wine and a good loaf of crusty Italian bread.

Steps:
- To make the meatballs, combine bread and milk or water in a medium bowl. Mix in ground beef, eggs, Romano cheese, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Form golf ball-sized meatballs; place into freezer to firm up.
- To make sauce, heat olive oil in a large pot on medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and 1 sausage link; cook about 3 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown beef chunks and pork neck bones; set aside.
- When onions and garlic are done, turn heat down to low. Add tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the browned beef and pork, crushed tomatoes, wine, bay leaves, cinnamon, parsley, basil, and salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 to 4 hours.
- Once you add the meatballs, let sauce simmer for 1 hour. When sauce is nearly ready, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Cover pasta with sauce and meatballs and serve immediately.

MEATBALLS SICILIAN STYLE.
These meatballs are very different because of the texture created after mixing in the food processor. I usually use a homemade tomato sauce but a good store bought sauce will work fine as well (Tomato & Basil). Top meatballs with sauce and mozzarella cheese and let your taste buds delight. Even Nona says she loves them.

Steps:
- Place dried bread cubes in a bowl and cover with cold water for 1 hour. Drain and squeeze the water out with your hands.
- Place the bread into a bowl and add the remaining ingredients, except the Olive Oil.
- Mix everything together with your hands very well (my butcher grinds all the meat and pork fat together for me at time of purchase, it definitely helps the mixing process).
- Grind the mixture in a food processor with the Olive Oil, if you have a good sized processor you should be able to do it in two batches, use half the oil each time. Grind the mixture very fine it will take a few minutes; you may have to scrape the bowl down a time or two.
- Return all to the bowl and mix again with your hands.
- Form into meatballs just smaller than a golf ball. The mixture will stick to your hands so keep some cold water handy to moisten your hands when this happens.
- Place the meatballs on a lightly oiled pan and cooked for 25 minutes at 375°F An extra 5 - 10 minutes if you plan to eat them right away.
- Use these meatballs for spaghetti & meatballs. If you are using a homemade sauce place sauce and meatballs in a slow cooker for 4 hours or so. I like just throwing them in the oven topped with sauce and mozzarella cheese and cook them at 375F for 25 minutes.
- I usually double up this recipe and freeze the meatballs for future meals. They turn out just as good for the next meal.

SICILIAN MEATBALLS
Family recipe that goes way back. My mother said her uncle would always take a little of the meat and fry her a "hamburger" in the skillet as the rest were in the oven. It's a lot of work, but the results are way worth it. If you are going to make this, make a bunch and freeze it!!!! LOL

Steps:
- Mince or press the garlic, and chop the parsley into fine pieces (or you can cut the measurement and use dried parsley flakes).
- Grate the onion and place in a bowl.
- Add all of the ingredients above, except for the olive oil, and mix together in the bowl.
- Form balls into the size of golf balls and then dip your hand (or brush) in the oil and then rub it on the balls.
- Place on cookie sheet and brown at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- I usually add these to my marinara sauce, but you can eat them many other ways as well!

Form the mixture into 36 meatballs (about 3 tablespoons each), tucking in the currants and pine nuts.
- In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the meatballs in 2 batches and fry over moderate heat, turning, until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to a plate.
