Konigsberg Meatballs, (Germanic)
Meatballs:
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 pound lean beef, minced
1/2 pound pork, minced
2 spring onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon juice from jar of capers
2 anchovy fillets, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1 egg white from large, beaten
3 to 4 cups beef stock
Soak the breadcrumbs in water, then squeeze out and add to the minced beef
and pork. Mix well together. Add the spring onions, lemon rind, lemon and
caper juice, anchovies, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients, then add
the beaten eggs and egg white. When the mixture is smooth, form it into 1
to 2 inch meatballs. Bring the stock to a boil and while it is boiling
rapidly, add the meatballs, making sure not to add too many at one time.
Cook them for approximately 15 minutes until they rise to the surface.
Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and keep them warm. Strain the
cooking juice and set aside.
Caper Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
1 spring onion, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon capers
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the spring onion and cook until it is
soft. Stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes. Add 2 1/2 to 3 cups of
the strained cooking juice. Add the wine and simmer for a few minutes
until the mixture is smooth and thick. Reduce the heat and add the egg
yolk. Make sure that the sauce does not boil as it will curdle. Add the
capers, lemon juice and season to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add
more stock. To serve: Add the meatballs to the sauce and keep them warm
until they are ready to be served. Traditionally, they are served with
potatoes and a green bean salad.
Santa's Spicy Balls
2 slices white bread
1/4 cup milk
1 package ground beef (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon oregano, dried
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cans Ro-tel tomatoes and chilies, extra hot
Soak bread in milk until soggy, squeeze out milk and discard. Mix bread
together with meat, parmesan, oregano, and garlic salt. Combine egg with
mixture, form into small meatballs about the size of a quarter or a little
bigger. In a large pot over medium heat, add oil and saute onions until
they are soft and translucent, a few minutes. Add both cans of Ro-tel,
bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low. Add meatballs, cook 30 to 45
minutes, until meat is no longer pink in the center. We had to test
several meatballs to make sure they tasted good!
Baby Porcupines

1 large egg
4 tablespoons chopped onions
2 tablespoons chopped green peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup raw rice
1 cup tomato soup or tomato puree
2 cups water
Mix all but last 3 ingredients. Shape into small balls and roll in the
uncooked rice, Heat tomato soup and water in heavy pan with a tight
fitting cover. Dutch oven is the best for this. Place the meatballs into
tomato mixture. Cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes or until meat is
tender and the rice is done.
