Boiled Meatballs
Boiled meatballs ARE DELICIOUS!
There are so many possibilities, and the boiling liquid makes a great soup stock.
The basic recipe is:
Ground pork
Spices
Eggs
Salt
Water to boil them in
This can be varied at will. I'll list some excellent variants we have tried, below.
Procedure: mix ingredients. Make small balls, drop into boiling water. When done, fish out, do next batch.
NOTE! If you have access to it, pre-boiled (for at least 20 minutes) seawater is a GREAT base for this, just don't add any salt to the meatballs.
Meatballs #1
Ingredients:
Ground pork
Ground coriander
Salt
Eggs
Meatballs #2 (medieval spices)
Ingredients:
3-5 lb ground pork
4 eggs
Poudre forte (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper)
Salt
(also excellent with dried currents in them)
Meatballs #3
Ingredients:
ground pork
finely chopped onions or leeks
ground, dry mustard
salt
We served them with a sauce of sour cream mixed with coarse mustard
(these are REALLY good)
Here are some ideas for what to do with the left-over pork-broth.
Add leeks and some torn up bits of the meatballs to make soup.
Boil cabbage in the liquid, no butter needed to serve.
