Hungarian Meatballs With Mushroom Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Meatballs
1 lb ground beef
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 shallot, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
salt
white pepper
olive oil
butter
Gravy
8 ounces mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon dill
white pepper
salt
olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef broth
1 cup sour cream

Preparation

Combine all ingredients for meatballs in a bowl except for butter and olive oil. Form into one inch balls.
Heat pan on medium with olive oil and butter. (A few drizzles of oil, a few pats of butter.) Brown meatballs on all sides and reserve.
In a deep sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium high. Add mushrooms and spices for gravy. Saute until browned. Add butter and flour. Cook for one minute. Slowly add beef broth and stir until smooth and thickened. If you are worried about lumps you can reserve some of the broth and make a slurry with that and the flour.
When gravy is thickened add the finished meatballs to reheat. Stir in sour cream and heat through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you like.
These go great with wide egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
