Instructions
- Saute 1 chopped onion in 1 tablespoon butter. Transfer the onion to a bowl. Add the ground meat, grated garlic cloves, breadcrumbs, egg, mustard, thyme or marjoram, ¾ teaspoon salt, and some pepper to the onions in the bowl. Mix well with your hand. Form 15 meatballs. Wet your hands a few times in between, it will be much easier to form the balls.
- Pour the stock/broth in a larger saucepan or a deeper skillet. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down, add the meatballs, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and keep them warm. Strain the liquid into another pot.
- Wipe the saucepan or the skillet with kitchen paper. Melt the remaining tablespoon butter and fry the second chopped onion for about 3 minutes.
- In the meantime clean the mushrooms with kitchen paper and slice them. Add them to the pan and continue cooking for 3 minutes.
- Add about ½ cup of the reserved meatball broth, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes on low heat, until the stock reduces. Add the remaining stock and bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl mix together the corn starch and a little water. Add the mixture to the gravy while whisking all the time to prevent the formation of clumps. Simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. If too thick, add a bit more water or broth.
- Whisk in the sour cream, adjust the taste with salt and pepper and add the meatballs to the pot as well. Cover and heat through.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve with boiled potatoes or noodles and with gherkins or other pickled vegetables.
Notes
- Or smetana or creme fraiche.
