Meatballs in Curry

I think all us Danes know what Meatballs in Curry is, and I'm also pretty sure we all love it to death! It has always been one of my favorite things. Curry is often a thing we combine with Indian food, but it's actually an ingredient we use in a lot of recipes in Denmark, and I am one of it's biggest lovers probably..


Ingredients:

Meatballs:

1 lb ground pork
1 onion (leave about half for the sauce)
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup any kind of flour (whole wheat, buckwheat, white)
1 cup chicken broth or milk
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp pepper

Sauce:
2 tbsp butter or oil
2 tbsp corn starch
Rest of the onion
1 tbsp curry
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper

1 cup rice
3 cups water

Directions:
  1. Start out with boiling water for the rice. When water is boiling add the rice and turn heat to low and let it simmer with a lid for about 30 minutes. 
  2. Make the meatballs first by stirring ground pork until it makes a batter kind of.
  3. Shred the onion directly into the ground pork on a grater. Same with the garlic. Leave about half of the onion unshredded for the sauce. 
  4. Add oats, flour, chicken broth and salt and pepper.
  5. Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Shape little balls about 1 inch in diameter and cook for 10-15 minutes in the boiling water.
  6. Cut the remaining onions into small dice or mince. 
  7. Melt butter or oil in a saucepan. Add the onions and curry and sauté for about 1 minute then add flour and cook that for 1-2 minutes as well stirring at all times to prevent it from burning.
  8. Add about 1 cup of broth at a time.
  9. Finish off with adding the milk and taste with salt and pepper. 
  10. Before serving, put the meatballs back in the sauce and serve with a fresh salad and rice. 

Enjoy!
