Low Sodium Meatballs
I like to make this recipe in advance, so I can enjoy them during the week when I have less time to cook.
The key here is to use a lean ground beef of at least 90% beef and 10% fat, if you have a local butcher that you like, ask them to grind up a fresh batch for you, freshly ground seems to work better for me gut you can still get the prepackaged stuff, just make sure its 90/10.
The next thing you want is to use your homemade bread crumbs, this way you can be sure of the sodium count. Simply place them into your food processor or your blender and using the pulse setting, pulse them a few times to get a coarse grind. At this point, you can add some of your favorite seasonings if you like. I like to use Mrs. Dash Herb & Garlic blend, but you can use what you like.
When you're ready to mix it all together, make sure you put all the ingredients into the mixing bowl at once and always use your hands to mix it up. The gentle touch of your hands incorporates all of the ingredients without crushing the meat. You don't want to over-mix into a paste - full pieces of ground meat should still be visible.
Keeping in mind how you will use the meatballs, you should roll them to the size appropriate for the dish. For instance, you'll want smaller, bite-size meatballs if adding to soups. If they're served on their own, they should be pretty big, like the size of a golf ball (about 2 inches in diameter). If they're on top of spaghetti, a medium meatball will suffice. This one is all about preference, just consider how the meatballs will be eaten.
If you roll your meatballs with dry hands, the meat mixture will stick to your skin and make rolling a ball impossible. To remedy this, lightly oil your hands. You'll only need a light rolling motion to form a (not too tight!) ball.
Next sear the meatballs for a nice brown color in your favorite frying pan. (Note: This is optional but recommended.)
For this recipe and for the sake of convenience, I microwaved them.
During the week I can use them with a nice pasta sauce with spaghetti noodles or I eat them on a sandwich. The uses are endless. Enjoy!
