Meatballs and Sausage Grouper Francese

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Grouper

    Dredge each grouper fillet in all-purpose flour, shaking off excess flour. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

  6. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the meatballs and grouper to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs and grouper on a platter, drizzled with sauce, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
