45 min    4-5 large balls or 12-16 small balls    minced meat, dutch, meat

Instructions

Preparation

  • Remove the crusts from the slices of bread.
  • Place the slices of bread in a splash of milk and soak for 10 minutes.
  • Mix the seasoning, egg and soy sauce through the minced meat.
  • Squeeze the bread out slightly.
  • Mix the bread through the meat mixture and add the meatball seasoning.
  • Optionally add the peanut butter for a satay-like flavour.
  • Shape 4 to 5 large meatballs (100–125 g) or several small ones (25–30 g). Press firmly!
  • Sprinkle flour onto a plate.
  • Roll the meatballs through the flour until completely white.
  • Leave the meatballs to rest in the fridge for 5–10 minutes.
  • Melt a generous knob of butter or use a combination of butter and olive oil in a frying pan.
  • Brown the meatballs all over at a fairly high temperature.
  • Add milk to the pan so the meatballs are sitting slightly in the milk.
  • Bring to the boil (the milk will foam a little).
  • For a slightly sweeter flavour, you can add extra sweet soy sauce or a little sugar.
  • Cook the meatballs for about 20 minutes, turning them occasionally.

Serving

  • Delicious with the gravy from the pan poured over them.
