Yield:
24 meatballs
Meatballs
½
cup fine dry breadcrumbs
¾ cup heavy cream
1½ Tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, minced
2/3 cup ground beef
2/3 cup ground veal
2/3 cup ground pork
2 Tablespoons honey
1 large egg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In
a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and 3/4 cup heavy cream. Stir with fork
until smooth. Set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, and add
the onion. Sauté until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
In
a large bowl, combine beef, veal, pork, honey, cooked onions and egg.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the breadcrumb-cream mixture
to the meat, and mix well. With wet hands (to keep the meat from sticking)
shape a meatball the size of a golf ball. If the meat is too soft to shape,
more breadcrumbs may be added to the mixture. Continue shaping meatballs,
placing on a plate brushed with water.

Sauté, browning on all sides, until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove
to a plate and discard the fat from the skillet.
