Season the onions generously with salt and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The onions should be very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and the crushed red pepper and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool.In a large bowl combine the meats, eggs, Pecorino, parsley and bread crumbs. Squish the mixture with your hands. Add the onion mixture and season generously with salt and squish some more. Add the stock and do a few final really good squishes. The mixture should be mushy and wet.Test the seasoning of the mix by making a half-dollar coin sized patty and cooking it. The mixture should taste really good! If it doesn't it is probably missing salt. Add more if it is.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Shape the meat into desired size (I like making them pool ball sized). Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Place them on an oven pan and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through. If using right away, add them to your big pot of tomato sauce. If not, they can be frozen for later use. Serve with pasta and sauce or just eat them straight out of the pot.Enjoy!
