Servings: persons

1/2 cup almond meal (or breadcrumbs)
16 ounces ground beef (85% lean)
16 ounces ground pork
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1/4 cup for topping the subs
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for topping the subs
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt & black pepper
1 large jar of your favorite marinara sauce
2 cups mozzarella
16 club rolls or small sub rolls

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Gently mix together almond meal (or bread crumbs), meat, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, onions, eggs, salt and pepper.
3
Spray hands with cooking spray to make handling the meatballs easier. Use a 1 1/2 inch scoop to ensure each meatball is the same size, and roll them by hand to give them a nice round shape before placing them evenly on the cookie sheet (this recipe should produce 36 meatballs).
4
Bake for about 20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. Leave the oven on 400 degrees.
5
Heat marinara sauce in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Drop meatballs into sauce, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, for 5 minutes.
6
Arrange sub rolls cut side up on a baking sheet. If the tops aren't slit open, cut each one, being careful to only cut through the bun halfway.
7
Place 2 meatballs in each bun, and top with a spoonful of marinara, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, and 1 teaspoon Parmesan for each meatball.
8
Bake until cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.
9
Remove and sprinkle with a little fresh parsley before serving.
