Meatballs with Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 onions
• 1 tbsp butter
• 500 g ground beef
• 3 tbsp whole grain breadcrumbs
• 2 tsp paprika powder (sweet)
• 1 tsp Mustard
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 800 g carrots
• 300 ml meat broth

Instructions

1. 1.

   For the meatballs, first peel and finely dice one onion. Heat butter in a pan. Add the onion and fry for 2 minutes over medium heat. Remove from the stove and let it cool slightly.

2. 2.

   Combine ground beef with onions, breadcrumbs, egg, paprika, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix into a meatball dough and shape eight meatballs with damp hands.

3. 3.

   Heat oil in a pan and brown the meatballs all around for about 6–8 minutes, then remove and keep warm.

4. 4.

   Peel the carrots, leave some green on top, and boil in salted water for about 8 minutes until cooked.

5. 5.

   For the sauce, peel the remaining onion and dice it small. Sauté in the pan’s fat. Take out 3 tbsp of broth and whisk with flour to make a smooth slurry. Pour the diced onions and broth over, bring to a boil, stir in the slurry, simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Season well with salt and pepper.

6. 6.

   Serve by arranging meatballs and carrots on plates, pouring some sauce over them. Salted potatoes go well with this dish.
