| Boulettes Française |
This is
a dish my grandmother made quite often. It is a traditional French Canadian
weekday dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean ground beef
1/8
teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon
poultry seasoning
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1
whole onion, peeled
2
whole garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
DIRECTIONS
Mix meat and seasonings.
Shape
into 1 inch meatballs.
Put
enough water in saucepan so it will cover meatballs.
Bring to
a boil.
Add
whole onion and garlic cloves.
Add 1
meatball at a time so water does not stop boiling.
Cook
until meat is white, adding water as necessary, making sure meatballs are at
least 3/4 covered - about 30 minutes.
Remove
onion and garlic.
Mix cornstarch
and water together and mix well insuring there are no lumps.
Pour
slowly into the pan to thicken.
Serve.
Pure comfort food :) I didn't have poultry seasoning, so I used some fresh sage, rosemary and thyme (didn't have dried sage and rosemary), and it turned out wonderful. Will make it again! Thanks for sharing this recipe of your grandmother's.

Wow, Bea - these are soooo gooood!!! I was skeptical that meatballs boiled in water would produce a really good flavor, but the method was intriguing. I was so wrong - the sauce is flavorful and the meatballs were tender and wonderful! Followed directions explicitly, including the ingredients. Thanks for sharing this marvelous dish!
