2 loaves Italian bread
1 ½ lb. cooked lobster, ground
1 T. chopped garlic
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 ¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 eggs
8 c. marinara sauce
extra virgin olive oil
Cut crusts off of the bread and save for another use, if desired.
Cut remaining soft bread into small cubes; soak in water; strain bread using a colander; squeeze out excess water.
In a bowl, combine ground lobster, garlic, parsley, cheese, salt and pepper; add strained bread and eggs; mix thoroughly. Gently form mixture into meatballs, taking care not to squeeze.
In a saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over low heat.
In a pan with about 1/2-inch olive oil, set over medium-high heat; fry meatballs until golden on all sides. Place into the warmed marinara sauce; let simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Serve garnished with more cheese and chopped parsley.
8-10 servings.
