Forest-style meatballs

Ingredients for 5 servings:

• 1 kg minced meat, mixed
• 2 large onions
• 200 g bacon, diced
• 2 bunches of parsley
• 1 can mushrooms or chanterelles
• 2 eggs
• 1 roll, stale or breadcrumbs
• salt and pepper
• Paprika powder
• Mustard

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

To make the meatballs, fry the bacon cubes in a pan (depending on how fatty the bacon cubes are, you may need to drain some of the fat from the pan), then add the diced onions and fry. Then add the chopped parsley and diced mushrooms and sauté everything over low heat for about 5 minutes. Set aside and let cool slightly. In the meantime, add the eggs and the soaked and well-squeezed bread roll to the minced meat. Add the cooled mixture, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard, and mix everything well. Form the meatballs into meatballs, fry slowly until nicely brown, and keep warm in the oven. When the last meatballs are in the oven, add 1/4 liter of water to the pan, loosen the cooking juices, and season the sauce with salt, pepper, and mustard, if desired. Serve with boiled potatoes and a green salad.
