Ingredients

1/2 cup milk 

1 cup fresh breadcrumbs 

1 onion, coarsely chopped 

10 garlic cloves 

4 pounds ground sirloin beef 

4 large eggs, slightly beaten 

1 cup fresh parsley, chopped 

2 cups freshly grated Locatelli cheese 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, and 1/2 cup water; set aside until softened.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the onion and garlic. Process until very finely chopped; transfer to a large bowl along with the beef, eggs, breadcrumb mixture, parsley, and cheese. Using your hands, mix until well combined.

Measure the meat mixture into 1/4-cup-sized balls. Transfer to a roasting pan, and bake for 15 minutes, turn, and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove, drain, and set aside.
