GERMAN MEATBALLS (FLEISCHKUECHLE)

Steps:

• Start by soaking the dry bread with some lukewarm milk (takes around 20 min). When done, quench the milk out of the bread.
• Meanwhile, finely chop onions and sauté with some oil or butter in a pan until they are transparent. Shred the carrot and sauté with the onions until soft. Let cool.
• Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Add spices to taste. Remember: add a little more salt than you think you should. The frying will take off some salt, so it prevents the meatballs from tasting boring.
• Now heat margarine or butter in a non-stick pan, form disks from the meat dough (approx 10 cm diameter, 2-3 cm high) and fry thoroughly from both sides.
• Serving suggestion: with mashed potatoes and baby carrots with peas.
