Servings: persons

2 lbs lean ground beef
4 slices bread, torn in chunks (Italian or rustic white bread, about 2 packed cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 large eggs
1/4 cup of grated pecorino romano cheese
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
15 turns white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
about 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Place the bread in a large bowl, cover with water and let soak until saturated, about 1 minute. Pour off the remaining water, wring out the bread, and tear it into tiny pieces (place back into bowl).
3
To the bread, add all of the ingredients, except for the dried breadcrumbs (which you will add in last, using more or less as necessary).
4
Using your hands, combine all the ingredients together. Form the mixture into golf ball size meatballs.
5
Lay out your meatballs on 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake for 25 minutes in a 325F oven.
6
At this point, you can cool the meatballs and hold them in the refrigerator for as long as a couple of days or freeze them for the future.
7
Serve 3 meatballs per person with a healthy helping of your favorite red tomato sauce (homemade or store bought). Top each portion with a fluffy mountain of grated cheese. Buon appetito!
