We make these from cooked Italian meatballs. We seem to always have some in the freezer. You can also make meatballs fresh for this. You will just need to grill them a little longer than we suggest below. We grill these on an outdoor grill, but you can just as easily cook them in a grill pan on the stove. The recipe below serves 2.
Ingredients:
- 6 Pre-cooked meatballs
- 1/4 Cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Large clove of garlic, mashed with a pinch of salt
- 2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped, plus some for garnish
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 Teaspoon ground pepper
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the above (except the meatballs). Then add the meatballs and toss to coat. Marinate them 2 to 4 hours turning occasionally. If you are making fresh meatballs, double the amount of marinate and add half of it to the meat mixture.
Preheat grill to medium high. For pre-cooked meatballs, cook for about 5 minutes on two sides just to warm through and get some grill marks. For fresh meatballs, cooking time will depend on their size.
We serve our meatballs over a garden salad with Italian dressing.
