Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1 1/2 cups grated Pecorino-Romano
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 4 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil, for frying
- Serving suggestions: spaghetti and tomato sauce
Instructions
- Place the cashews and garlic in a small pot and cover with water. Boil for 15 minutes, then drain completely. Place the cooked cashews and garlic in a food processor with olive oil. Process until a paste forms, about 1 minute.
- Combine cashew paste with ground meats, Pecorino, parsley, eggs and some salt and pepper. Knead until well combined. Using a measuring cup, form into heaping 1/4-cup-sized meatballs.
- Heat enough canola oil to come 1/2-inch up the side of a low-sided Dutch oven or heavy bottomed skillet to 350 degrees F. Add meatballs in batches and brown the meatballs on all sides until dark brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes a side. Let drain on a wire rack and serve with your favorite spaghetti and tomato sauce.

I finally found the sauce recipe! Search “Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce” from Food Network (not GZ). Or search for Jeff’s meatballs on Foodnetwork.com (not the app), and click on the episode “sharing our secrets” (not the kitchen unexpected episode) that’s found at the end of the recipe. Hope this helps.
