CHEF JASPER’S ITALIAN MEATBALL SLIDERS
CHEF JASPER Mirabile, JR Jasper’s Italian Restaurant
R E C I P E OF T H E W E E K
INGREDIENTS: 2 pounds ground beef 2 eggs 1 cup Romano Cheese 1-1/2 tablespoons parsley, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup onion, minced Salt and pepper, to taste 2 cups plain bread crumbs 1-1/2 cups water or chicken broth 1 cup olive oil 1 pkg slider buns 1 pint marinara sauce 4 oz. Jisa Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS: Place beef in a large bowl. Add the eggs, cheese, parsley, minced garlic, onions and salt and pepper. Mix. Add the bread crumbs and blend into the meat mixture. Slowly add the water until the mixture is moist. Shape the meat mixture into 2-1/2- to 3-inch balls. Fire up the grill. Slightly press the balls to make slider patties and place them on the grill. When the bottom half of the meatball is well browned and slightly crisp, usually about 3-4 minutes, turn it and cook the other side for 5 minutes more. Add slices of Jisa cheese and let melt. Place on mini slider buns or egg rolls and top with marinara sauce.
FARM UPDATE DOWN ON THE FARM! Red tomatoes are still on their peak so there are still plenty of those around. Watermelon will most likely peek this week, and cantaloupes will stay steady.
