Ingredients:
1-1/4 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 small celery rib with leaves, finely chopped, approx cup
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup V-8 juice, low salt
4-5 Tbsp
Urban Accents Spicy Bloody Mary Drink Mix (how spicy do you like your Bloody Mary cocktails)
2 oz (4 Tbsp) Absolut Citron or Absolut Peppar, if you like it spicy
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Directions:
In large bowl, combine the beef and pork with celery, bread crumbs and egg. In small bowl, combine V-8 juice, Spicy Bloody Mary Drink Mix, Vodka, and pepper. Pour 1/2 cup of liquid mixture into large bowl and mix lightly with meat mixture, but thoroughly. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch balls, packing them firmly together.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the meatballs and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 5 min. Cook in batches if necessary; then return all cooked meatballs to skillet. Add remaining liquid mixture and simmer over medium heat until liquid is reduced by half; gently stirring so all meatballs get covered with sauce, about 2 minutes. Meatballs can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before cooking.
