TUNA MEATBALLS


print

To make the Meatballs:

1 lb (500 g) sushi grade tuna, minced
1 egg
1/2 cup (125 ml) breadcrumbs
1/2 cup (125 ml) raisins
1/2 cup (125 ml) pine nuts
1 cup (250 ml) parmigiano, freshly grated
1/2 cup (125 ml) white wine, a splash
1/4 cup (50 ml) flour (optional)
1/2 cup (125 ml) sesame seeds
1 cup (250 ml) extra virgin olive oil

To make the Balsamic Sauce:

2 cups (500 ml) balsamic vinegar
a sprig of fresh rosemary, ripped

To start your Tuna Meatballs:

In a mixing bowl, add tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, raisins, pine nuts, parmigiano cheese and wine.

Combine the ingredients together using your hands. To absorb any excess moisture, add flour. Wet your hands and make compact little balls with the mixture. Repeat until mixture is consumed.

Dip the uncooked tuna balls in the sesame seeds.

Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan. Gently place balls in the oil and fry until golden brown. Turn balls over to cook on all sides. Transfer to a plate with an absorbent paper towel.

To make the balsamic sauce, add balsamic vinegar to a saucepan and cook on high heat. Add rosemary and bring to a boil.

Lower heat to minimum. Let reduce to half or when the sauce resembles a thick consistency.

Drizzle balsamic sauce over the meatballs.

Yield: 6 servings
