  • Meatballs are an iconic food in Italian cuisine, made with very simple ingredients that everybody has at home. Each ingredient is important for the texture and structure of the meatball. I visited il Polpettificio, a restaurant in Bari, Italy that serves thousands of meatballs every day to find out the most traditional way to make meatballs in Italy. Everything from what is the best cheese to use, to what sauce is best to cook them in.

    this is a great format not just for food but also for journalism. Claudia doesn’t edit too much out, so you get some outtakes and conversational exchanges that would normally be cut out from the final version of the video.

    My grandparents all came from Italy. They learned to cook there. They passed those techniques to some of us. I've been cooking since I was 10. That's almost 40 years of cooking. That's a LOT of meatballs. One thing I learned is that there is more than one "traditional" method to cook meatballs. My Napolitano grandmother cooked them one way. My Calabrese grandmother cooked them another. Never once have I ever seen them deep fried first. Not that I'm saying it's wrong, but this "traditional" method of making them varies GREATLY from the 2 "traditional" ways my grandmothers (and by default, me) make them, particularly in Sunday sugo/ragù. But I'd love to try Federica's, they look tasty.

    • @seeriktus
      @seeriktus Před rokem

      Wish I could have had a meatball childhood (in my family it was curries and roast lamb though!)
      The frying I think is to get some brown crispiness on the outside. You can't get that without raising the temperature above boiling point, as you do in frying.

    • @Quillons1
      @Quillons1 Před rokem +1

      @@seeriktus I'll say this. I LOVE curries and roast lamb. I didn't get that growing up because it wasn't something my grandparents were culturally attached to. About the browning of the meatballs. Typically, I fry them off in a pan with a little oil. It's not deep fried but you sear the outside of the meatballs. Another method is to brown them in the oven. This is useful when doing a lot of them but I, personally, feel they don't come out as good. They're good, just not as good as pan frying them. Frying the meatballs off (whichever technique you use) before putting them in the sauce is the better method when you want the meatballs to be the star of the show. I actually like my Calabrese grandmother's method better of putting raw meatballs directly in the sauce. I find this method makes the sauce the star of the show. I am a believer that the pasta and sauce are the more exciting part of the meal, but my family likes the better meatballs, so that's how I do it but you can try both methods and see what you prefer.

    • @seeriktus
      @seeriktus Před rokem +1

      @@Quillons1 Ah I see,
      Perhaps you could combine the "stars" of both worlds. If you fry in shallow oil, you'll end up with some fond on the bottom of the pan. Put that in with your sauce, take it off with a little water and you'll get that delicious in the sauce.
      Respect for the traditional methods of course though!

    I do like the idea of a meatball cafe. I am very fond of restaurants that take the route of focussing on one dish. There used to be a sausage restaurant in Little Portland Street I frequented - again, specialising on one idea allowed them to get it right.
