Köttbular

serves 3 - 4

Ingredients:

* 500g half minced pork and half minced beef

* 250g milk
* 100g breadcrumbs

* 1 egg

* 1 onion

* Salt
* Pepper
* Piment

For the sauce:

* 250ml cream
* 250ml water

* 1 beef stock cube

* A dash of soy sauce

* 1 spoon of flour
* Salt
* Pepper

Preparation:

Mix the breadcrumbs with the milk. Finely chop the onion and stir fry it in a saute pan until glassy. Take it out and put it in a large bowl along with the rest of the ingredients.
Make your hands wet so the meat won't stick, and make balls the size of a ping pong ball. Roast the balls on medium heat in the saute pan. You can use butter or oil. Carefully turn them around or they will fall apart. 

Now in a separate pot we will make the sauce. 

Start by preparing the beef stock with the water and the stock cube. Once the cube dissolved, add the cream and blend well. Now add the soy sauce. Carefully add a spoon of flour, and mix well. Best to use a whisk, or else the sauce will have lumps in it. Bring to taste with salt and pepper and pour over the meatballs.

This dish tastes great with baked/fried potatoes and boiled veggies.

I hope you like this recipe and hopefully until soon again.

Tiramisu

serves 8

Ingredients:

* Cacao

* 2 packs of sponge fingers 

* 1 cup of extra strong coffee

* 1 bottle of amaretto

* 6 eggs

* 6 spoons of castor sugar

* 500g mascarpone

Preparation:

Seperate the egg's protein and yolk and beat the protein with a whisk until stiff. Mix the yolk with the sugar until it looks foamy.
Now add the mascarpone to the yolk/sugar mix and blend well. Now add the protein and stir well with a spoon. Don't beat it, you want the mixture to be light.

Now mix the coffee with as much amaretto as you like. My advice is to put it in Tupperware so you can dip the sponge fingers better.

Take a tray and cover the bottom with the mascarpone mix. Now shortly dip the sponge fingers in the coffee and add them on top of the mascarpone mix. Now use a sieve to sprinkle cacao on top of this.
Keep repeating. The top layer should be the mascarpone mix with cacao on top.

Put in the fridge for 4 hours, even better if you do this a day in advance.

If you would like to take out the tiramisu without breaking it, you could use a baking sheet or aluminium foil to cover the bottom of the tray first.

I guarantee you that this dessert is a success!
I hope you enjoy it and see you again soon.

Yours truly,

Mike
