Hackfleischbällchen in Mandelmilch

120 Portionen

Here I was in despair. All the attempts to make a filling that held together with from the ground pork so far had failed. Then I had an inspiration. I could at least approximate the texture of boiled and ground pork with the cooked ground pork on hand by processing it, in essence, regrinding it. When I did this I could make these into meatballs that held together reasonably well. They were very brittle and tender meatballs, and fell apart in the batter when I tried to dip them, so I tried cooking them a little first, frying them to get them to hold together. All that processing meant that I was hard pressed for time, by the time the rough meatballs were made, so I skipped the batter stage altogether, and just put them out fried, with the sauce poured over them. (I think that they were well recieved, but by this time I was almost done, and didn't care that much!)

An Ideal garnish would be a sprinkling of saunders, but I did not think of this until after I had finished and served the dish.
