GERMAN MEATBALLS



German Meatballs image

This is one of our favorite main dishes. Because we raise our own pork and beef, the meat we use is always freshly ground. For variety, these meatballs can be cooked with a sweet cream gravy or steamed with tomatoes. But we prefer them with homemade sauerkraut. -Iona Redemer, Calumet, Oklahoma

SCANDI-STYLE MEATBALLS WITH GRAVY



Scandi-style meatballs with gravy image

Serve meatballs Scandi-style with creamy gravy and sweet jam. Lingonberry jam can be hard to come by so we've made cranberry sauce here instead

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

75g breadcrumbs
50ml milk
300g beef mince, at least 12% fat
300g pork mince, at least 5% fat
1⁄2 tsp ground allspice
1⁄2 tsp white pepper
1 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
drizzle of vegetable oil
small handful of dill, leaves picked
mashed potato or chips, to serve (optional)
150g fresh or frozen cranberries
75g caster sugar
20g butter
1 heaped tbsp plain flour
400ml good-quality beef stock
50ml single cream
splash of Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 10 mins, or until the milk has been absorbed.
  • Combine the beef, pork, allspice, pepper, flour, Worcestershire sauce and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl, add the milk-soaked breadcrumbs and use your hands to squash everything together for a few minutes until well combined. Roll the mixture into meatballs about the size of a cherry tomato. Chill for at least 30 mins. Will keep covered and chilled for up to 24 hrs, or frozen for up to two months.
  • Make the berry sauce by cooking the cranberries and sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat with a splash of water for 5-8 mins until the berries have burst and the sauce looks syrupy and glossy. Add a little more water if it becomes too thick. Leave to cool.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and have a baking tray to hand. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the meatballs, in batches if needed, for 8-10 mins until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer to the baking tray and bake in the oven for another 10 mins while you make the gravy.
  • Melt the butter in the same frying pan you fried the meatballs in (no need to wash it first) and stir in the flour. Sizzle for a minute or two, then slowly add the stock, whisking to make a smooth sauce. Bubble for 2-3 mins to allow the gravy to thicken, then add the cream and Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning. Tip the meatballs back into the sauce, scatter with the dill and serve with mash or chips, if you like, and the cranberry sauce.

GERMAN MEATBALLS AND SPAETZLE



German Meatballs and Spaetzle image

This is a recipe that was made for years - the german side - was the spaetzel and Im not sure that there really is something that is called german meatballs but this was the recipe - so I guess they are german - enjoy

Provided by Ravenseyes

Categories     Meat

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb ground beef
1 whole egg
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 dash black pepper
1 (10 ounce) can beef broth
1 cup diced mushroom
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2-1 teaspoon caraway seed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 whole eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Begin with the German meatballs: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and shape into about 24 (1 1/2-inch round) meatballs. Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure to drain well as you cook the meaty mixture. Add beef broth, mushrooms, and onion. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, blend sour cream, flour, and caraway seed. Add to the simmering broth and meatballs.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the spaetzle by sifting together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk and beat well. Place in a coarse-sieved colander and sieve (pushing the batter through the holes of the colander) directly over a rapidly boiling pot of lightly salted water. Cook for about 5 minutes, drain.
  • Sprinkle spaetzle with a mixture of fine breadcrumbs, garlic powder and melted butter.
  • Place a large portion of the spaetzle on a serving platter and hollow out a well in the center. Spoon meatballs and sauce in the center of the spaetzle and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The quality of the ground beef will have a big impact on the meatballs, so it's important to use high-quality meat. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a large skillet: When cooking the meatballs, it's important to use a large skillet so that the meatballs have plenty of room to brown. If you use a small skillet, the meatballs will overcrowd and steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat: Cooking the meatballs over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Make sure the meatballs are cooked through: Before removing the meatballs from the skillet, make sure they are cooked through. You can check this by cutting into one of the meatballs and making sure that the center is no longer pink.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: When serving the meatballs, garnish them with fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

German meatballs with cream dill gravy is a classic and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. The meatballs are juicy and flavorful, and the gravy is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
