Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 slices white or other soft bread, torn into bite-size pieces 1/2 cup whole milk 1 pound ground beef chuck 1 pound ground pork 6 thin slices pancetta (2 1/2 ounces), finely diced 1/2 small onion, minced (1/3 cup) 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon mild smoked paprika (also called pimenton) 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying

Directions

Soften bread thoroughly in milk in a large bowl. Add beef, pork, pancetta, and onion; mix with your hands. Mix in egg yolks, 2 teaspoons salt, some pepper, the paprika, and thyme.

Form into 1- to 1 1/4-inch balls. Chill in a single layer 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly coat a large skillet with oil, and fry meatballs in a single layer (do not crowd) over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs.

Transfer to a baking pan, and bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
