We recently made Boulets à la Liégeoise...Belgian meatballs...
Mix of 50% ground pork and 50% ground beef, mixed with rye bread, allspice, nutmeg, S&P, one egg, small amount of beef stock, and some fresh chopped dill - meatballs have to go in the fridge for a couple of hours:
Brown in a pan:
Meanwhile, soak pitted prunes in some beef stock and cook in the microwave for a few minutes:
Remove meatballs from pan, sauté chopped onions in the pan, then puree the prunes and add to pan, with some Belgian beer - we used a wheat beer, and some thyme sprigs and a bay leaf:
Reduce the sauce, then return the meatballs to the pan, and cover to finish cooking, turning them 1/2 way through:
Before removing the sauce from the pan, stirred in a little cider vinegar, and was supposed to add more dill but forgot that:
Very good and tender meatballs...I guess traditionally serviced with Belgian fires, but we opted for a salad:
Will be making these again!
