Introduction
In this recipe: Sourdough Loaf.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Toast sourdough slices until bread is dried out. Roughly blend (pulse mode) the toasted sourdough in the blender.
- Finely dice your Celery, Onion and Garlic.
- In a mixing bowl, add and mix all of the ingredients, including the sourdough breadcrumbs, except for the oil.
- Portion out the meatballs by using a tablespoon. Take a spoonful of the mix and make them into balls using your palms.
- Place meatballs onto a parchment lined baking tray, leave space between meatballs to ensure even cooking. Drizzle with oil.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until meatballs start to brown. Take out of the oven and cut 1 meatball in half to make sure that it is fully cooked in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a food container if you are eating these later. If eating now, follow step 8.
- To serve meatballs heat up marinara sauce in a medium saucepan and add meatballs once it starts to simmer. Mix and cook for 5 minutes, add freshly chopped parsley and grated Grana Padano before serving.
- To make the cheesy garlic sticks, soften the butter in the microwave, this should be no more than 20 seconds (don't melt it).
- Stir in the garlic, then spread the mix on top of the sourdough slices.
- Top each slice with grated cheese & place in the oven on broil, cooking until the cheese starts bubbling and turning golden.
- Remove from the oven, then top with chives and slice.
