Ingredients:

1/3   cup           very finely-chopped onion
1     tablespoon    very finely-minced garlic
3     tablespoons   finely-chopped parsley
1     cup           fresh bread crumbs
1                   egg
1/2   cup           cold water
2     tablespoons   olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons     salt - (to 1 tbspn)
1/4   teaspoon      freshly-ground black pepper
1/4   teaspoon      ground nutmeg
2 1/2 pounds        lean ground chuck
30    ounces        tomato sauce

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Combine chopped onion, garlic, parsley and bread crumbs in a food processor and mix 30 seconds. Break the egg into a 3-quart bowl and mix well using a wire whisk. Add water, olive oil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the egg and whisk until well whisked. Add the bread crumb mixture, combining with a spatula. Add the ground meat and mix thoroughly until ingredients are well distributed and the mixture is binding together tightly.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Using a medium-sized ice cream scoop, scoop out a portion onto a lightly oiled jelly-roll pan. Form each meatball by rolling in the palm of your hand until they feel tight and solid. (The finished meatballs should be about the size of a golf ball.)
Pour 1/4 cup water into the pan and place in the oven. Time 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and loosen with a spatula. Return to the oven an additional 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain.
Heat the tomato sauce in a large skillet. Add the meatballs and simmer 2 minutes. Serve over pasta or rice.
