ingredients

Meatballs
1 lb ground meat
3 slices white bread
¹⁄₂ cup milk
1 egg
³⁄₄ cup finely chopped leek
butter and oil (for frying)
Dressed carrots
10 -12 small carrots
water
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 finely chopped red onion
parsley sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 ¹⁄₄ cups milk
¹⁄₂ cup chopped parsley
salt and pepper

directions

Meat Balls:.
Mix the egg and the milk in a bowl. Cut off the crust of the bread and place in the bowl so that the bread soaks up the liquid and gets mushy. Mix in the ground meat and the leek. Season with salt and pepper and let it rest for 10 minutes. With wet hands, make small balls of the mixture. Fry them in oil and butter for 10 minutes. Make sure that they are done by testing one.
Parsley dressed carrots:.
Scrub or peel the carrots. Put them in a pot and cover with water. Season with salt and pepper. Boil until soft.
Sauce:
Melt the butter in a pan and add the flour. Whisk in the milk. Let in boil for about 10 minutes. Stir every now and then. It should be thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Before serving, sieve off the water from the carrots. Mix the carrots with parsley and onion in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lingonberries (or cranberries if you can’t find lingonberries.).

Very much enjoyed, you can never go wrong with meatballs, and I particularly enjoyed the dressed carrots, they really made the meal for me. My meatball mixture was a little soft, another time I will plan ahead and allow them some chilling/firming up time in the fridge, it certainly didnt affect the taste, though. Thank you, this recipe was made and enjoyed for ZWT9, Hot Pink Panthers On The Prowl

Pure comfort food! And so easy - I did use skim milk but otherwise made as directed using ground beef and baby carrots. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy little meatballs and i used baby carrots. The creamy sauce for the carrots was very good. This was served with Recipe #427852 which tasted like hot potato salad,, excellent with the sweet saucy carrots. Thanks for posting Nikki. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6.

Peoria, 41

I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)!  I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005.  I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it!  I love grilling and baking.  I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time!  I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best!  Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking. As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites.  I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day!  Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites. I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes.  Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!
