Recipe that is one of my husband’s favorites! This is one of those you can’t go wrong with: easy to make, pleasing to the eye and the palate. Also, with this indecency cheese, it’s hard not to drool! If you want a leaner version, you can fill it with lighter cheeses like ricotta, but honestly, it’s not that good. Come with me:
Add (quantity for 2 people who eat WELL):
350g ground beef (I used duck)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped or grated
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon of onion cream (industrialized product)
2 tablespoons chopped green chilli
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
1 tablespoon full of ricotta cream or cream
salt (about 1 level dessert spoon)
Black pepper to taste
* You can season the meat however you like.
Mix well until it becomes a homogeneous mass. Line a meat cutting board with aluminum foil and grease the top (of the paper) with oil to handle the meat without it sticking. With half of the meat, make a not too high circle.
Spread grated mozzarella cheese in the center and cover with the other half of the meat, joining well at the ends to prevent it from opening. Notice that it is almost the height of a hamburger. Grill the meat on both sides in a non-stick frying pan.
In a refractory or any container that can go in the oven, spread a layer of tomato sauce, which can be homemade (recipe here) or industrialized, place the polpettone in the center, cover with more grated cheese and bake in a preheated oven. 200th.
Do I really need to say how good it was?
