Meatballs

The recipe was probably written in 1919 by Emma Hönge from Bermbach. The little blue exercise book entitled "Diary" was found in the estate of my dear neighbour Helma. A total of 32 recipes were neatly organised on paper according to ingredients, recipe description and cost. It contains basic recipes for flour pancakes, cocoa, pasta, cooked cherries, green spelt soup and sauerkraut. Here comes a meat dish: meatballs, which must have been a delicious Sunday dish back then, served with potato salad.

Duration: About 30-45 minutes

Amount: Serves 4-5

Ingredients:

125 grams of minced pork

125 grams of ox meat

1 dry bread roll

1 egg

1 small onion

1 teaspoon salt

1 pinch of pepper

nutmeg

1 tablespoon of fat

Method:

1. Grate the bread roll crust on a grater and set aside.

2. Soak the bread rolls in cold water and then squeeze them out firmly.

3. Peel the onion and chop very finely.

4. Mix the minced meat, bread roll, egg, onion and spices well in a bowl.

5. Form some large, oblong dumplings, dip them in the breadcrumbs and fry in hot fat in a pan over a moderate heat for 20 minutes.
