Birra del Borgo Genziana (Italy)


  • 4 Servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds bulk Italian hot sausage
  • 1/2 pound smoked mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 cubes
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus more for drizzling
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • One 28-ounce can Italian crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup oil-cured sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • Four 7- to 8-inch-long crusty sub rolls
  • 1/3 cup basil leaves (a generous handful), torn or shredded
  • Freshly grated pecorino-romano cheese, for topping

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°. Place a bowl of warm water on a work surface. Arrange a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide the sausage into 4 equal portions. Form 3 balls from each portion, nestling 1 mozzarella cube into the center of each meatball and sealing the meat around it. Coat the meatballs with a drizzle of EVOO, place on the rack on the baking sheet and roast until firm, about 18 minutes.

  2. While the meatballs are cooking, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon EVOO, 1 turn of the pan, over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and olives; season with salt and pepper and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 7 minutes.

  3. Remove the meatballs from the oven, turn off the heat, add the rolls and bake until crisp, 3 minutes. Split the rolls; top each with 3 meatballs and some sauce, basil and pecorino.
