Polish Meatballs Aka Kotlety

"This is a Polish meatball type dish that is best made with higher quality ground beef. I prefer grass fed, but its certainly easy and tasty either way. I can be easily doubled for more people. Goes well with potatoes, but most carbs will do."

directions

  • Mix all ingredients for the kotlety in a bowl till everything comes together.
  • Make golf-ball sized, or a bit larger, balls with the meat and place on a plate until needed.
  • Heat a large skillet and use your preferred oil/fat, then turn the heat down low once it's heated all the way through.
  • Put the meat on, it should sizzle lightly. If it doesn't, your heat is too low.
  • Each kotlet should be cooked for a 3-4 minutes per side, then flipped. It will take a little time to heat them all the way through, slice with a knife if unsure.
  • Once all the kotlety are cooked, put them to the side.
  • Keep the heat low, and sautee the mushrooms in the pan, making sure all the browned bits and fat coat them.
  • Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the heavy cream and deglaze the pan.
  • Serve kotlely, pour sauce on top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I don't mind a challenge, or a mess, so I often substitute in things like spelt flour, agave nectar, and whatever else I have on hand instead of what the recipe calls for. I'm also a big fan of cutting the sugar is most recipes in half. Plus, I love the way whole grains taste. I don't believe that just because something has been done one way "forever" means that it is the right way or rather, the only way to do it. My mother is gluten intolerant, my sister can't have dairy or eggs, and I am sensitive to sugar, so I also like to explore ways in which all of us can have a satisfying meal. Plus, my boyfriend will eat anything I put in front of him and not complain. He only asks again for the really good stuff, and fruit deserts. He is also possessive of anything I bake, so suggesting we drop some English Muffins or bagels off at a friends house is always met with a, "But those are my *insert baked good here*! Oh fine, we can do it if you want." And then he makes a sad face. It's nice to have at least one fan.
