Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pass the meat through the meat grinder three times.

Step 2

Add the bread, cream (milk), beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 3

You can replace the bread with a large potato. Then, mash the potato, add milk and eggs to it, and afterward mix it with the meat and spices.

Step 4

Form meatballs about 2–3 cm in size and fry them in a generous amount of vegetable oil in a skillet. The meatballs should be spaced apart in the skillet to allow for easy rolling and even browning on all sides.

Step 5

Serve with a green salad, boiled potatoes, and unsweetened lingonberry jam. Drizzle with a meat or sour cream sauce. However, there is a special sauce called 'Brun Sauce.' For it, you will need (for 4 servings) 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of flour, 350 ml of broth (preferably beef), 50 ml of 10% cream, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, salt and ground white pepper to taste, 2-3 tablespoons of the liquid left from frying the meatballs, and 1 tablespoon of meat broth extract (this can be either half a broth cube or liquid meat concentrate).

Step 6

Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir until all the flour is incorporated. Gradually add the broth and cook the sauce for 4–5 minutes (the sauce should thicken slightly as the flour cooks). Stir in the cream, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and broth extract, then add a bit of liquid from the pan where the meatballs were cooked. Bring the sauce to a boil and serve.
