This is the recipe I promised to send. It is a bit of
a task to prepare, but well worth the effort. The
recipe was passed down for many generations in my
husbands family who immigrated here from Russia (being
Russian Jews) so, I have no idea why they called it
'German' meatballs, but a meatball by any other
name...I guess! >>>> Slice the garlic into a water
glass and pour 2 T boiling water over it. Mash the
garlic well, then add 2 T. more boiling water. Strain
through a kitchen towel, saving the liquid only. Mix
together all the ingredients, including garlic liquid
then shape into balls about the size of a large egg.
Roll the balls in the flour until well coated. Melt
enough fat to make about 1/2" in a heavy skillet or
cast iron cooking pot. Brown the meat balls in the
fat. Remove the meatballs and pour off all but 4 T. of
the fat. Sauce and balance of cooking instructions
follow next page: Ingredients: SAUCE: Add 1 qt. water
to the reserved fat along with the catsup. Make a
paste of the next six ingredients, then mix in enough
water to get a consistency of a thin cream. After the
water-catsup mixture is warm, slowly add this mixture,
stirring constantly to avoid lumping, until the
mixture has been well absorbed into the liquid. Cook
gently until the sauce is slightly thickened. Place
meatball in the pan, or in an oven-proof roaster and
make sure they are covered with the sauce. Cover pan
and bake in hot oven for 1 hour. Serve with mashed
potatoes. (My friends also love it with pasta or
rice!) Enjoy! Barbara Manhattan Beach, Ca FROM:
