How to Make Fried Italian Meatballs With Breadcrumbs : Italian Dishes

[@walqqr1]

I like this guy. Straight to the point, direct, no-nonsense, honest and simply a great cook. Good work!

[@gb7902]

“Some people like it, some people don’t like it..I happen to like it”, words to live by👍🏻 Clemenza my man, this meatball recipe and the Sunday gravy recipe are excellent!

[@Gomez1915]

Clemenza needs to make more videos. I could watch this guy for hours cook Italian food

[@mrlionX]

I have the same feeling. Its like you trust the guy because he knows his food...and I guess he has eaten quite a bit of it too.

Clemenza is an amazing chef and a beautiful human being!!!!!!!

[@theresabollman8061]

Growing up Italian we know the difference between eating them fried before they get simmered in sauce, and the way most people think of them...cooked in sauce. I love them both ways, but wow how nice to have them just plain fried with a dash of the cooking oil & drippings over them on Italian bread. My grown kids still come home asking for a fried meatballs and a green salad with oil and vinegar for dinner. It makes me happy to do it :)

[@tenebrisrex333]

Truth but I actually prefer the slow cook in the gravy. The fry toughens the meatballs so they don't get any of that beautiful tomato mix. I might make them fried if it's a dish that stands alone. Looks beautiful though, mangia!

[@NevrSilent]

Our family always used the broiler. Cut down on some of oily factor from frying.

[@jenniferstellato7018]

True, once you put them in the sauce you don't have those crispy edges no more!

[@skinnyblisks127]

To this day i tell my mom to leave me a few before throwing them in the sauce

[@michaelleonetti8564]

Theresa any was is great especially when the kids come home n we can cook for them it's a treat

[@retropulse03]

I don't ever want to see another italian-food cooking video without this guy! I laughed out loud at the part with having 'enough' cheese haha

[@skateurself]

Why does this guy look so familiar? Was he one of the guy son Hells Kitchen? I could sware he was.

[@ImTheBoss914]

honestly the breathing in the mic makes the video more enjoyable idk how to explain it but I love it lmao

[@lisahamilton2563]

I sooo love his accent. and those meatballs look so good

Holy shit my grandmother taught me this 40 years ago almost to a t she always said don't overmix it n she baked them for 15 minutes n let the juices go into the gravey my daughter's learned to roll the best meatballs to this day we still make them together much love to nana

[@MiThreeSunz]

The classic Italian meatball recipe! Pretty much the same as mine but I don’t add the basil, but to each their own. 🇮🇹

[@Marcus.81]

Thanks so much. We all pulled for you on HK. You were one of the very best contestants that show ever had in my opinion.

Taking it back to Sundays in Bensonhurst! Love it. Need more videos with him!

[@whitestguyuknow]

....Yes....It looks delicious........... Why.....Do....You.......Type....Like.....This?..... It makes you look as if you're dragging out every word as if you're super depressed and sad. Are you just continuing to hit periods cause you had to at the end of the sentence and was too lazy to go back to hitting space? Just use the spacebar. It seems like only senior citizens do this for whatever reason lol

I love this guy. My favorite chef on KZbin.

[@michaeldonohue9760]

All these years, I still love the videos!

[@haya3746]

I made his for my family and we all LOVED it I pan fried it in oil and added thyme, paprika, and chili flakes to the oil so it can take some of that in, then I made gravy in that same oil and it was delicious ! Thank you.

[@charleshall3372]

Clemenza Caserta! The man!!

[@debrad9968]

Clemenza, that was great...thanks for the video...you're such a good Italian chef!!! I always fry my meatballs in olive oil and they come out great. i also use chopped onion in mine too. Lately I started using Panko bread crumbs and wet bread and they come out great...not too dry and not too moist. I sometimes used bread crumbs alone just to change it up, but they were a little dry but not bad (used less). Thanks again chef...

[@paulsocki]

Never done "fried" meatballs before, man O man are great!!! I made them kinda big, put em' on French bread, added a little red sauce, what a sandwich! Thanks for sharing

[@m.w.6526]

I have a basketball game tomorrow

[@MaliciousSRT]

I made these along with my own take on his Sunday Gravy recipe (no hot sausage or wine) and it was freaking mouth watering, especially these meat balls after simmering away in the sauce for 4 hours. Can't wait to make it again!

[@bongdonkey]

My Family is from Sicilia.And we make fried bread balls also.No meat at all.I grew up on breadballs and sauce.Yum!!

Awesome! I'm a Sicilian-American raised in New Jersey (which I'd bet $100 you were too). I've been a vegetarian for 31 years, but tonight I thought I'd try making my own meatballs with Impossible "beef." Your cooking demo is an inspiration! Thanks.

[@bigdude382]

I miss Sunday mornings at my ex's house, family was straight from Italy and her mother could make a meal from an old boot and make it taste like a 5 star restaurant. She'd start cooking early Sunday morning around 8am, had supper at 1 then all the desserts. Everything homemade from scratch including the bread.

[@ourjourney5059]

Thank you for the video. Good recipe!

[@tharrison0043]

I never fried meatballs before,they look good,i think i'll try it out.Thanks.

[@ahuxley123]

I would do the same, fry them up for a but I would drop them in the sauce as it came a boil. I would put pieces of mozzarella on the inside of the meatballs. That was my secret when I had a date over for dinner. If you show you care about the food, she knows you care about her!

Finally a sensible comment...

[@arthurmiller9434]

Like many viewers, I like this guy too. He is the genuine article. Some viewers have commented on his breathing. In all fairness, he is probably a restaurant owner who spends 10-12 hours a day on his feet. There is no time for a health club membership. No energy left for a walk after dinner. It’s a hard life. I hope he is well!

I gotta say, everyone has their "secret" recipe. But the ingredients he described are the right way to go! I usaullt do 4 lbs of meat mix and they only last a couple days.

[@machia0705]

Stale bread in salt water. Soak it in water and then ring it out. Use that instead of bread crumbs. So much better then bread crumbs. This guy is a good cook. I cook meatballs after I fry all my meat, picks up the taste.

Meat is 50/50 ? and what oil is the best?
