It’s been awhile since I’ve made any new meatball recipes. We’ve had Cherballs<\/a> a few times, the Israeli ones when pure ground beef was on sale (gotta use up that Baharat<\/a>), and “normal” Buletten<\/a>…I am still enthusiastic about meatballs, just not doing much exploring.

Anyway, last week Mr Radish was away on business, and long enough that I was able to eat all the foods he doesn’t like, but still had to fix myself a lunch after doing the Saturday shop. As I walked by the meat counter, there they were: tiny fresh pre-made meatballs, of mixed beef and pork, next to some other pre-made finger foods intended for your Fasching<\/a> party. The strapping young butcher trainee behind the counter seemed surprised when I asked for eight pieces. 1) That came out to 114g, or about 4oz, a perfectly cromulent lunch serving. 2) I didn’t know if I would enjoy them; the herbs and flavors used were not on the signage.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dropped them in a hot pan on the stove for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Then ate them with an onion roll from the Dinkel<\/em>* wagon at the Wochenmarkt<\/em>, which is one of my new favorite things. (There was cream cheese for the roll, and some homemade Jalape\u00f1o BBQ sauce.)<\/p>\n\n\n

“So, Radish, how they did taste?”

They were pretty good. A bit of a Bratwurst flavor–heavy on the marjoram, with some onion and black pepper. Next time, I buy more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
