How to Make Italian Meatballs Using the Samson 6-in-1 Juicer

Since you can use the Samson 9001 to mince meats and herb, its a great tool for making meatballs. Of course, you can also make these meatballs using pre-ground meats, but buying the meats and grinding them yourself is always a good idea if you have the time. Grocery stores are known for adding crappy cuts of meat to their ground beef and pork because there is no way of knowing what has gone into it once its all ground up. I personally don’t want to be paying extra for my meat to be ground up, and then have things like pig snout thrown in- yuck! So, I try to grind my own meats whenever possible.

This recipe is my Italian family’s meatball recipe. It makes delicious, succulent meatballs that you can use in pasta sauce (for spaghetti and meatballs), simply rolled up and quickly fried (for a simple meatball – we use them as appetizers!), or you can also use this mixture for stuffing vegetables (it makes a great stuffed pepper!). Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef
• 1 lb pork
• 1 bunch of parsley
• 2 cups plain bread crumbs
• 1 cup parmesan or romano cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup warm water with a clove of garlic smashed into it (skin removed)
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Set up your Samson 6-in-1 Juicer for mincing using the mincing cone, drum cap and the mincing nozzle.
2. Cut the meats into chunks that will fit down the tube – you can trim the fat to determine how lean you’d like them to be.
3. Push the chunks of meat through your juicer and add some parsley to let it mix in.
4. As you collector fills, transfer the minced meat into a large bowl.
5. Once all the meat and parsley is minced and all in the same bowl, crack in your eggs.
6. Using your hands (in a squeezing motion), mix the eggs in.
7. In about 3 parts, add breadcrumbs and cheese, then mix again using your hands.
8. Once the mixture feels dry, pour in some of the warm water with garlic (but do no pour the chunk of garlic into the mixture) and mix again using your hands. You might not need all the water but this ratio is usually pretty good. You are looking for a soft consistency that will roll in your hands easy and stick together well.
9. Add salt and pepper to taste, mix one last time.
10. Roll the mixture into the desired size meatballs you’d like.
11. If you are maxing pasta, put them into the sauce and let the sauce simmer for an hour or two, stirring occasionally to ensure the meatballs don’t burn. This way, the meatballs cook as your sauce cooks. To stir, simply shake the pot by its handles. Using a spoon will break up the meatballs.
12. Enjoy!
