Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground veal
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups unsalted beef or chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine, preferably Rhine or Moselle
1/4 cup sour cream
1 egg yolk
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped, cored, seeded hot cherry peppers without salt

Steps:

  • Put veal in mixing bowl. Add pepper to taste.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in saucepan and add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add mixture to veal. Add bread crumbs, parsley, chives and nutmeg. Shape mixture into 28 balls of equal size.
  • Heat remaining butter in saucepan and add flour, stirring with wire whisk. When blended and smooth, add broth and wine, stirring rapidly with whisk. Add meatballs to simmering sauce. Stir gently from time to time so they cook evenly, about 25 minutes.

KONIGSBERGER KLOPSE (GERMAN MEATBALLS IN CREAMY CAPER SAUCE)



Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Creamy Caper Sauce) image

A classic! Authentic Königsberger Klopse are made from ground veal, beef, and pork, along with a small amount of anchovies (or sardines or herring), chopped onions, bread crumbs, eggs, and spices. The traditional creamy sauce that accompanies the dumplings are made from the broth in which the dumplings were cooked, flour, cream, white wine, lemon juice, and capers. Delicious! Serve with boiled new potatoes and my Rotkohl recipe #108449 #108449. Also makes a great appetizer! A little history: Predecessors of the Königsberger Klopse date back to the Middle Ages. However, the East Prussian name Klops (Klops = meat dumpling) didn't originate until the 18th century. Königsberger Klopse was invented in the city of Königsberg (then the capital of East Prussia; today known as Kaliningrad, Russia) around 200 years ago. My German/Polish/French grandmother was born and raised in East Prussia, about 30 kilometers from Königsberg. This recipe is my version of her delicious Königsberger Klopse, which she never wrote down but with the help of my mother I was finally able to replicate. I have many fond memories of enjoying this dish (which the women would prepare) at family gatherings, Sunday dinners, and special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. Still one of my top favorites!!! I hope your family enjoys, too. (Helpful Tips: These tender meatballs are braised NOT fried. If halving the meatball recipe, you will still need the full amount of stock for braising and for the gravy. The meatballs are somewhat delicate & time consuming to make; have someone help to form them into balls, it is much easier that way! For appetizers make them smaller and serve warm from the crock pot with toothpicks, buttered rolls and Potato Salad recipe #309891 #309891. Freezes well).

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb ground sirloin
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground veal
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/4 cups fine plain breadcrumbs (I use Progresso plain breadcrumbs, grandmother used a ground up hard roll)
1/2 cup milk
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 lemon, zest of, small finely chopped
1 lemon, juice of
3 tablespoons capers, chopped
3 tablespoons anchovy paste (alternatively you may use sardines or herring) or 3 tablespoons crushed anchovy fillets (alternatively you may use sardines or herring)
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
flour (for rolling)
1 (32 ounce) box chicken stock or 1 (32 ounce) box vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup good quality dry white wine (I use fume blanc or extra dry champagne)
10 black peppercorns
2 tablespoons capers
1 lemon, zest of, small finely chopped
1 lemon, juice of
1 cup good quality sour cream (full fat to prevent curdling)
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven such as Le Creuset, heat broth ingredients (stock, bay leaf, cider vinegar, white wine, peppercorns, and 2 tablespoons capers) to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, combine meatball ingredients, mix well.
  • Form meat mixture into golf-ball sized balls (note: mixture will be a bit sticky and delicate to work with, but this is normal, and the result will be a moist and tender meatball!). Roll them in flour, and carefully place into hot broth; simmer each batch for 15 minutes, but do not boil. (Tip: do not crowd meatballs, ie only simmer about 10-12 meatballs at a time). Note that the broth will thicken as you add the flour covered meatballs, which will make a nice sauce.
  • Carefully remove meatballs from the hot broth with a slotted spoon, and keep them warm in a covered bowl stored in the oven while making the sauce. Discard bay leaf.
  • To Make Cream Sauce:.
  • To hot broth stir in the sauce ingredients and heat through, but do not boil.
  • Add the cooked meatballs to the heated sauce, stir gently and warm through.
  • To Serve:.
  • Serve Meatballs and Cream Sauce with boiled new potatoes (salzkartoffel) or hot buttered spaetzle noodles, and German Rotkohl recipe #108449. Sprinkle with snipped fresh parsley, for garnish.
  • To Serve as an Appetizer:.
  • Make the meatballs smaller and serve warm from the crock pot with toothpicks, buttered rolls and potato salad recipe #309891.
  • Freezes well.
