Restaurant Find : I visited Santa Fe but pizza was not on my mind

When I went to Santa Fe and we spend a few days. Eating was on my mind after visiting the museums, going rafting and exploring the town. However when we wanted to eat, pizza was not the cuisine I was "shooting for". But this place looked good . After seeing this show, I wanted to find a recipe for Special meatball. Here were too.

Stuffed Meatball Hoagies

Show: Emeril LiveEpisode: Play Ball


Ingredients

* 8 cups Basic Red Sauce, recipe follows
* 1 large egg
* 1 pound lean ground beef
* 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* 1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves
* 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 1 teaspoon ketchup
* 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 4 to 6 (6-inch) hoagie buns
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/2 pound coarsely grated mozzarella cheese
* 4 to 6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan

Directions

Pour the Basic Red Sauce into a large, heavy pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Place all the remaining meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine.

Using your hands, divide the meatball mixture into 12 even portions and roll into smooth meatballs. Place meatballs on a plate as they are formed. When all the meatballs are shaped, gently place the balls into the simmering sauce 1 at a time. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes before stirring. The meatballs should begin to float to the top when they are able to be stirred. Stir gently and continue to simmer for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the sauce from the heat and cover to keep warm. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Using a sharp knife, slice a thin layer off the top of each hoagie bun and, using your hands, remove some of the bready interior to form a hollowed-out submarine shape. Brush the inside of the hollowed out buns with the olive oil. Divide half of the grated mozzarella evenly between the hoagie buns and bake, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and buns are lightly golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and ladle some of the hot tomato sauce into the buns. Place 2 or 3 meatballs inside each bun and top with more sauce. Divide the remaining mozzarella cheese among the tops of the buns and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Return to the oven and bake until bubbly and hot throughout and the cheeses are golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
