2 slice white bread, crumbed (1 sl)

RAGOUT DE BOULETTES CANADIAN MEATBALLS

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon bacon grease
2 lbs ground pork
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Brown finely chopped onion in bacon grease.
  • Add to ground pork along with celery, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • Shape into balls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
  • Roll in seasoned flour (flour, salt, and pepper combined).
  • Drop meatballs into boiling beef broth.
  • Reduce temperature; simmer for 1 hour.
  • Thicken remaining stock with browned flour; season to taste.
  • NOTES FOR THE COOK:.
  • You may make beef stock or use boullion cubes and water.
  • Browned flour is something our Mothers and Grandmothers made. It is very simple to make by just stirring several tablespoons of flour back and forth in a dry medium hot skillet. This type of flour will not thicken as quickly as plain flour because the heat breaks down the starch cells. It takes 3 tablespoons of browned flour to do the work of 1-1/2 tablespoons of plain flour. 'Flour may be browned in a hot oven' is what recipe says; I don't know about that; I think it could burn pretty easy.

FRENCH CANADIAN MEATBALL STEW



French Canadian Meatball Stew image

This is a traditional meal in the homes of the French Canadians that will leave your home smelling of warm spices and your belly full.

Provided by Nancy Carreiro

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, minced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 egg
½ cup dry bread crumbs
6 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
¼ cup cold water
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread flour out in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the flour in the preheated oven until medium brown in color, 10 to 15 minutes; stir often and watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove the flour from the baking sheet immediately once the desired color has been reached; set aside in a shallow bowl to cool.
  • Melt butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir the spice mix into the onion. Place ground pork, parsley, egg, and bread crumbs into the bowl, and mix to combine thoroughly. Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs; roll each meatball in the roasted flour. Reserve unused flour.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot, bring to a boil over medium heat, and carefully drop in the meatballs, a few at a time, stirring to keep them from sticking on the bottom. Drop in the bay leaf. Simmer the meatballs for 20 minutes; mix in the potatoes, and simmer until potatoes are tender and the broth has reduced, an additional 20 minutes. Transfer the meatballs into a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Remove and discard bay leaf. Mix remaining roasted flour with cold water in a cup, and gradually whisk the flour mixture into the simmering broth to thicken. Bring the gravy to a full boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Return the meatballs to the stew, and serve.

RAGOûT DE BOULETTES (SPICY MEATBALLS)



Ragoût de Boulettes (Spicy Meatballs) image

From www.foodbycountry.com.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Pork

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c flour
3/4 c onion, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 lb ground pork (or combination of 1 lb ground pork and 1 lb ground beef or veal)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
6 c beef broth

Steps:

  • 1. Make browned flour: Measure the flour into a large skillet and heat over low heat. Stir frequently until flour is slightly browned. Set aside.
  • 2. Measure oil into a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked onions, ground meat, and seasonings. With very clean hands, combine meat and seasonings thoroughly.
  • 4. Shape meat mixture into meatballs about 1½ inches in diameter.
  • 5. Pour broth into a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Drop meatballs into boiling stock, lower heat, and simmer about 1½ hours. (Cover pan with the lid slightly offset to allow some steam to escape.)
  • 6. Sprinkle in the browned flour, a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon, until gravy thickens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Beef and pork are the most common meats used for meatballs, but you can also use lamb, veal, or turkey. If you're using ground beef, choose a blend of chuck and sirloin for the best flavor.
  • Season the meat well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs when seasoning the meat. Common seasonings include garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, and basil.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they're combined.
  • Form the meatballs into small, even-sized balls: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them: This will give them a nice crust and help keep them from falling apart.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes the meatballs special. Choose a sauce that you love and that will complement the flavor of the meatballs.
  • Serve the meatballs hot: Meatballs are best served hot, right out of the oven or skillet.

Conclusion:

Ragot de boulettes, or spicy meatballs, is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
