Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 small tender celery rib with leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 slice white sandwich bread—soaked in warm water, squeezed dry and crumbled into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Three-Pepper Bloody Mary

How to Make It

Step 1    

In a bowl, combine the beef and pork with the celery, horseradish, egg, bread, hot sauce, salt and pepper and knead well. Roll the meat into 1-inch balls.

Step 2    

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the meatballs and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Add the Three-Pepper Bloody Mary and simmer over moderate heat until the liquid is reduced by half and the meatballs are glazed, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
