Here is how you make Lean meatballs:

Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and peppers, bring to a medium-high heat. Season the onions generously with salt and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The onions should be very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and the crushed red pepper and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool.In a large bowl combine the meats, eggs, Parmigiano, and bread crumbs. It works well to squish the mixture with your hands. Add the onion mixture and season generously with salt and squish some more. Add the water and do 1 final really good squish. The mixture should be quite wet. Test the seasoning of the mix by making a mini hamburger size patty and cooking it. The mixture should taste really good! If it doesn't it is probably missing salt. Add more. Add more anyway.Serving Size: makes 12 meatballsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BRATSSCRAPPY.
