Step 1/ 3
- 1 shallots
- 1⅔ anchovies
- ⅓ tbsp caper
- ⅔ bread rolls
- 33⅓ ml whole milk
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- cutting board
- knife
- bowl
- frying pan
Finely chop two thirds of the shallots, one third of the capers, and all of the anchovies. Heat some oil in a frying pan and sauté shallots for approx. 1 – 2 min. Add milk to a mixing bowl and soak bread rolls for approx. 10 Min., until soft. Then, squeeze out the bread rolls to drain excess liquid.
Step 2/ 3
- ⅓ l water
- 166⅔ g ground beef

- ⅓ shallot
- ⅓ bay leaf
- ⅔ cloves
- ⅓ egg
- ⅓ tbsp mustard
- salt
- pepper
- pot (large)
- bowl (large)
- slotted spoon
Bring a large pot filled with water to a simmer. Stud remaining shallot with bay leaf and cloves and add to pot. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, egg, soaked bread rolls, sautéed onions, mustard, chopped anchovies, and capers. Season with salt and pepper and mix everything together thoroughly. Then, form mixture into 2-in./5-cm meatballs and carefully add them to the pot. Let meatballs simmer on low heat for approx. 15 – 18 min., until done. Remove with a slotted spoon, set aside, and keep warm. Set stock aside.
Step 3/ 3
- 13⅓ g unsalted butter
- 10 g flour
- 16⅔ ml white wine
- 66⅔ ml heavy cream
- ⅔ tbsp capers
- ⅓ tsp lemon
- sugar
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- potato (cooked, for serving)
- salt
- pepper
- pot (small)
- whisk
In the meantime, melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Whisk in flour and deglaze with white wine and two thirds of the meatball stock. Add cream and let simmer for approx. 5 min. Add remaining capers along with a little of their brine, lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Serve meatballs with creamy caper sauce and boiled potatoes as a side.
Enjoy your meal!
