what's up?! it's hilah cooking. today we aretalking about balls, meatballs that is, and i am not talking about those tiny, grey ratballs that you find in a can of whatever bullshit, spaghetti in a can. i am talking about bigass juicy, homemade, succulent meatballs. [music]all right. i just went ahead and put my meat in the bowl because i don't think it wouldbe very sexy for me to take the meat out of the package on camera, but maybe you thinkit would be, so if you do, just tell me and i will do that next time on camera. i willtake the meat out of the package. all right, first thing, i am gonna cut up this onion,and i am gonna cut up real tiny and probably just half this onion will be good. all right.cut it this way and don't cut all the way
down to the root end because that's gonnahelp you keep all the little pieces together, and then do, do, doo. like so, and then likeso. you want to keep the onion pieces super small,so that they don't break up your meatballs. all right, and then for good measure i amjust gonna run it through again. all right, that looks good. throw that in with the meat,and a clove of garlic. this is the fun part. just kidding, i think it's all fun. i lovecooking. just smash it, get the paper off of that, and then just chop, chop, chop, chop.it's all like yan-can cooking here with my knife skills huh, what's up? all right, nowfor the parsley. pick the leaves off roughly. we don't need to sit here and nitpick at thisshit. let's just make these meatballs and
get on with it.all right, so you want to roll it up into a tight, little bundle, and that is goingto, hey stems, what are you doing in there infiltrators? and that is going to let youchop it up with precision, or not so much precision, but he'll let you chop it up fast.all right, so that's pretty tiny. throw that in, and we are almost ready for the best part.okay, i got one egg, and approximately half a cup of breadcrumbs. i had these in my freezer,so i am gonna use that, but you could use oatmeal or cracker crumbs or whatever thehell you have that is dryish and carbish, and now i am gonna get my little chubby pawsin there and mix it up. don't be shy, just get in there. just massageit with your fingertips like you are massaging
your lovers feet, just kidding. that was reallygross, i am sorry. [laughs] it's nothing like that, but it is pretty messy. all right, youcan see it doesn't really take long to get everything sort of incorporated. oh, shit!i forgot to put in pepper and salt. dog it! okay, hold on. i'll be right back. okay, ialready did that before. i didn't tell you about that part. that's going to make me halfa teaspoon. i don't know how much that was. it will probably be fine, okay. okay, saltand pepper in the house! i wish they were in my house. guys wouldn't that be awesome!salt and pepper if you are watching this, could you please come to my house and havea concert? i will pay you with meatballs. get a little wad. it should be about the sizeof a walnut or a testicle if you are doctor.
there we go. set it on a plate, and we'lljust keep doing that until we have our little meatballs, and then we'll fry them up in someolive oil, and then we'll put some sauce on them, and then we'll eat balls for dinner.[laughs] meatball. all right, i got my pan, it's been heating up over high for a coupleof minutes, and i am gonna put just a little bit of oil in, maybe a couple of teaspoonsor so, and swirl it around to get it coated, and then i will put my meatballs in, verygently, and i kind of feel like a butthole because i didn't put tongs on my first episodeof cooking essentials, and i really kind of use them all the time, so you might want toget a pair of tongs too. they are pretty helpful for a lot of stuff. there you go, remedied.okay, everybody make room! don't be hoggin'
up the space. all right, i am gonna brownthem for a couple of minutes, probably about three minutes, and then flip them, and normallythey sort of end up a little triangular because i flip them three times, but then it's whatever,who cares what they are shaped like. i am just telling you that i am gonna flip themthree times i guess until they're very brown and crispy. so let's just let them sit andresist the temptation to tong them or fork them or yeah, tong. that's what these thingsare called, tongs. [laughs] i am gonna check them. that's what they look like now, buti am gonna let it go for just a couple of more minutes. all right, i am gonna flip them.that's what they look like. all right, last flip, and then they'll be browned, and theni'll throw in some tomatoes, and we'll make
a little sauce, and they'll finish cookingin the sauce. my little ball buddies are good and brown.i have a can of whole, peeled tomatoes that i am just gonna try not to squirt it on mywhite shirt. oh, and i turned the heat down a little bit. oww, it's like a meatball saunain here. okay, voila! and i am gonna add some more garlic which i haven't cut up yet becausei am not really on top of things rose, sorry. so 20 minutes, they'll be done. if you wantto let it simmer longer, that's cool, but you just, i mean let it simmer until you'reready to eat it. i think while mine is cooking, i am gonna put on a pot of spaghetti, so wecan have a real italian meal. sorry if that was offensive to any actual italians out there.i didn't mean it. all right, throw that in,
and i am gonna add a little salt because iuse unsalted tomatoes so that i can adjust to my own preferences, and what the hell.i am gonna throw in some dried oregano if that noise, stupid shaker top. i don't knowwhat the point is. i don't ever need a shake of oregano. toss them around in the saucethat is being created by magic. i should say, as if, by magic. it's actually not magic.it's an ancient trick called "fire." okay, there we go. pop a lid on the suckerand i am gonna cook some pasta and i will see you back here in a few minutes. bye! wow!this is totally looking more like spaghetti sauce now. awesome! all right, serving upsome balls. look at that crazy shit. i am gonna take a bite of a ball. i am gonna puta whole ball in my mouth. okay, this one is
for you greg vallet of doomsday wrestling,houston, texas. hope it doesn't burn my mouth. these are hot balls. [laughs] it's reallyhot.
