Ingredients Home-made tomato sauce
Directions Make meatballs.
Notes Nowadays this dish is served generally three times a week in most first-generation Italian homes, but prior to World War II meat was a delicacy reserved for special occasions. In Molise, Italy, chicken was often stewed in tomato sauce, but in North America few immigrants did so (They might have in the 1950s, but after the 1970s fewer and fewer did so). On Easter Sunday lamb chops would be stewed in the tomato sauce and served to guests. Photo: Mary Melfi |
