My German style mustard meatballs with Bavarian cabbage - Food fit for a German
So this week i was lucky enough to be the judge for the STEEMIT culinary challenge hosted by @woman-onthe-wing and looking at all the delicious recipes the contestants served up it made me crave some of my own!
I texted my wife and said can you grab a bit of this and that and then when she got home from shopping with my mum we cracked on!
So we started with some lean mince from the butcher, some shredded white cabbage and some roughly diced white onions.
All the ingredients will be list below
My beer squeezed itself into the photo
So first i soaked 2 pieces of white bread in some water and then ringed it out. I needed this into the mince with 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of raw white onions and a very generous amount of salt and cracked pepper. I kept the rest of the onion for the cabbage and mustard sauce.
Now in a good size pot i heat up some butter and oil with another tablespoon of white onion. This is going to become my sauce pot. Give the onions a nice browning then set aside.
In a nice sized pan heat up again some oil and butter and now we will brown off the meat. Form large meat balls in your hands and place them into the pan.
The trick here is to give the meatballs a very nice browning so that all this lovely color and flavor then goes into your sauce.
My trusty boxer watches on
After the meat is nicely browned i add some water to my pot with the onions, i add 5 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and about 500mls of water. Now add the meatballs and simmer for 20 minutes.
After cooking put 3/4 of a cup of flour into a bowl and mix in 1/3 a cup of water. Whisk together forming a pasty liquid and add to your pot with the meat balls to thicken the sauce.
Set them aside to rest and to let the sauce infuse. Now to finish we will fry off the Bavarian cabbage. In a pan fry the remaining white onion and then add the cabbage. Let this cook down slowly and half way throw add 2 bay leaves, salt and pepper. Do not overcook its nice to have it still a little bit green. It smells amazing and fills your home with a beautiful aroma. So healthy too!
Tonight i served this with some pre boiled and then butter fried potatoes! Enjoy
