Meatball Subs 潛水艇牛肉堡 & Happy Birthday to ME! @ Cindy Jeng Yoga and Wellness

今天是阿珠珠的大壽腰瘦啊又老了一歲哈哈~

除了中午同樣來自台灣的Shea請我吃午餐(餐廳我挑於是我挑了兩年前她帶我去的一家中菜館得開二十幾分鐘那次也是幫我慶生感恩!) 之後整天嗯沒啥特別下午就開始做今天的每日一齣趕著大王子5點就差不多得準備出門去練習棒球基本上小孩也都覺得上星期六在公婆家幫我過生日了一早跟二王子提到今天是媽咪的生日他回答他以為慶生那天就是我的生日... 嗯老公則是一早也沒講聲"生日快樂"(也罷念你還會記得我們的結婚紀念日我卻忘記去想...) 倒是臉書收到滿滿的祝福傍晚午點半就給他喝起啤酒啦然後還陪小I到外頭玩接著對面的Jake & Lexie也過來家裡(本來是Jake打電話過來然後我家老二去跟他玩才十分鐘就轉移陣地 Jake又來我家玩電腦 Lexie則是跟著小I 玩這位小一女生現在也開始往我家跑了真是買一送一喔... 我得照顧自己小孩還得兼顧別人的然後還得應付小朋友口渴要吃冰淇淋要喝東西要吃點心偏偏老娘我不是那種超好客的媽咪耶啊~ )

開了紅酒這次我自己在老公指導之下複習以前大學念書在美式餐廳打工時候曾經也會開紅酒的那個能力想說不要老是這麼懶都讓別人開酒自己起而做吧~~ 所以經過十多年終於自己用開酒器打開一瓶紅酒耶~

約翰的阿姨打電話來祝我生日快樂問我有沒有吃大餐老公有沒有幫我煮呵呵今天非假日上班上課傍晚小朋友得練球.... 哈當然是沒啥搞頭嚕其實我也不介意的後來老公提到星期六兒子的棒球賽取消了看我要不要去哪家餐廳吃飯慶生(我懷疑他真的忘了今天是我的生日是到我講電話才發現) 我說不用了啦人家生日要提早過(台灣我們家都這樣要慶生可以提早不能過完生日之後慶祝說是不吉利不過這邊我配合民情其實也無所謂了尤其是家人要一起來過生日的話怎麼方便怎麼好) 我說生日都過了還慶甚麼生(咦所以我還是意氣用事嗎哈哈) 不過說真的吃就不用啥大餐省錢買東西比較實際 :)

今天的每日一齣來個Mealball Subs 其實這Meatballs就是可以用來做義大利肉醬麵用只是這回阿珠珠買了個小型的長形麵包(勉強用來當meatball subs的rolls) 　第一次搞這個meatball subs(因為我家小朋友會吃咧偶爾在Subway外食他們會吃) 食譜是參考Rachel Ray 她的"30-minute meals" 幾年前我還蠻常看的很多年沒看了現在都網路上找資料比較方便也省得小朋友又要搶著看他們的節目...

好吧我的生日餐上菜嚕~~~ :)

Meatball Subs 潛水艇牛肉堡

1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin

1 large egg, beaten

1 cup (3 handfuls), Italian bread crumbs

1 medium onion, chopped fine

4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons (several drops) Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup (a couple of handfuls) parsley. chopped

1/4 cup (a couple of handfuls) grated Parmigiano or Romano

Coarse salt and black pepper

醬汁:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, (2 turns around the pan)

4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

A handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, about 2 tablespoons

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 (28 ounces) can crushed tomatoes

1 (14 ounces) can chunky style crushed tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

sub rolls

1 (10-ounce) bag (2 1/2 cups) shredded provolone or Italian 4-cheese blend

做法

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl and punch a well into the center of meat. Fill well with the egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire, parsley, cheese, and a little salt and pepper. Mix up meatball ingredients until well combined, yet not over-mixed. Divide mix into 4 equal parts, roll each part into 4 balls and space equally onto a nonstick baking sheet. Place meatballs in oven and roast about 12 minutes. Break a meatball open and make sure meat is cooked through before removing from the oven.

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. When garlic starts sizzling, add herbs and crushed pepper. Allow oil to infuse for half a minute, then stir in the tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are removed from oven.
