肉丸

1993年，法尔奇内利在一家美国餐厅集团担任“顾问厨师”——有点像内场手。他被派往荷兰的大阿姆斯特丹酒店(Grand Amsterdam Hotel)，在那里协助该集团的厨师之一、翠贝卡烧烤餐厅(Tribeca Grill)的唐·平塔波纳(Don Pintabona)准备为期一周的全美式晚餐。当法奇内利被告知唐会多带一个帮手时，他以为会是一个年轻的枪手——一个真正能把食物做得很好的能手。然而，他发现厨师带来了一个朋友，一个四十多岁、戴着厚厚的大眼镜、留着胡子、一头灰白头发的家伙:托尼·杜拉佐(Tony Durazzo)。第一次见面，托尼就告诉弗兰克:“我不是厨师。”这只是部分事实。因为即使托尼不是餐饮业的专业人士(他实际上是一名训练有素的绘图员)，他也很清楚自己在做什么。弗兰克带头做饭;托尼在讲故事。托尼出生在那不勒斯，在布鲁克林的卡罗花园长大。 He used to sneak into the Fillmore East back in the 1960s and hitchhiked from coast to coast in the 1970s. He had a million stories to tell, and it turned out he and Frank lived right around the corner from each other in the West Village. Tony told Frank all about his family's food, about the way they cooked, and about how they made the best meatballs. If you grow up around Italians, you know that most talk like that is bluster. But Tony seemed to know what he was talking about. Shortly thereafter, back in New York, Tony fried up a batch of his meatballs and walked them downstairs and around the corner from his place on Morton Street to Falcinelli's apartment on Commerce Street. When he arrived, the meatballs were still warm. They weren't in a sauce, just loose in a baking pan, topped with grated parmesan that had largely fallen off during the trip around the corner. Falcinelli didn't think they were good-he thought they were great. They reminded him of the meatballs he was raised on, but Tony's addition of pine nuts and raisins-which added texture and sweetness-pushed them to the next level. The two talked about setting up a food cart or a restaurant based on Tony's recipe. They had a good laugh about it: a meatball restaurant! They laughed about it until they laughed it off. Falcinelli put it way back on one of the backburners of his mind, next to a million other schemes that would probably never see the light. But a decade later, the seeds of this particular plan-those meatballs-grew into the Spuntino. Note that Tony fries his meatballs and we bake ours. Both recipes are here for your meatball-making pleasure. Please also note that ground beef for meatballs should clock in at around 10% fat (or 90% lean). Meat that's too fatty makes for flabby, greasy meatballs.
