How To Cook: |
|
|
1. To get good results it is essential to select the meats yourself and have them freshly minced.
|
2. Heat the butter and saute the onion for 5 minutes.
|
3. Put it in a large mixing bowl with all the other ingredients and blend until smooth.
|
4. Shape into balls, a tablespoon at a time, in the wetted palm of the hand.
|
5. Fry the balls in the hot fat, shaking the pan often to keep their round shape.
|
6. Remove each batch to a hot dish and keep warm while frying the rest. (If necessary, clean the pan between batches, removing the fat meantime.)
|
7. Make gravy with 1 cup single cream or milk and 1 tablespoon flour, season to taste and pour over the meatballs.
|
8. Serve with mashed potatoes, a cooked vegetable, salad or tart fruit sauce.
