Meatballs In Broth Recipes

MEATBALLS IN BEEF BROTH

Steps:

• For the meatballs, cut bread into slices and place in a deep dish with hot milk. Soak for 30 minutes.
• Squeeze bread and mix in a bowl with beef, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Rinse parsley, shake dry and chop. Knead into meat mixture. Form small meatballs and set aside.
• For the vegetables, rinse, trim and prepare all vegetables. Break cauliflower into florets. Break apart cabbage leaves. Cut ends of green beans and break into smaller pieces. Remove peas from pods. Cut carrots into slices. Cut leeks into rings. Peel onion and chop.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan and saute onion until soft. Pour in broth and bring to a boil.
• Place vegetables in broth and cook covered over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
• Add noodles and meatballs. Gently simmer for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley leaves before serving

PORK MEATBALLS IN HOISIN BROTH

Steps:

• Tip the mince into a bowl with the soy, cornflour, five-spice, chopped water chestnuts and some black pepper. Work everything together, then shape into 12 meatballs.
• Pour the stock into a wide, deep pan and stir in the hoisin and ginger. Add the meatballs, then cover and poach for 5 mins. Drop in the carrots, Chinese leaves, beansprouts, spring onions and sliced chestnuts, then put on the lid and simmer for 5 mins. Ladle into bowls, then serve scattered with spring onion tops.

SLOW-COOKER KOFTE IN TOMATO-LIME BROTH

Steps:

• Use a vegetable peeler to peel the rind off the lime in wide strips. Add the rind to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, along with the garlic and ¼ cup water. (Reserve the lime.)
• In a large bowl, stir together the herbs, yogurt, turmeric, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the meat and use your hands to combine. Form the meat into 8 balls (roughly 4½ ounces each) and add to the slow cooker in a single layer. If they don't fit in one layer, add a few tomatoes to buffer the meatballs from one another, then add another layer of meatballs. Add the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, then cover and cook on low until the meatballs are cooked through, 3 to 4 hours.
• Transfer the meatballs to plates, then remove and discard the garlic and lime peel. Burst most of the tomatoes by smashing them on the side of the slow cooker with a spoon. Squeeze the reserved lime into the slow cooker, then season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. (The sugar helps compensate for too-tart tomatoes.) Spoon the tomatoes and broth on top of the meatballs, along with more fresh herbs.

TURKEY MEATBALLS AND PASTA IN BROTH

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine turkey, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup parsley, salt and pepper, and mix well with your hands. Using a teaspoon, form 1-inch meatballs, and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a large saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of stock over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Raise heat to medium high, add carrots and remaining stock, and bring to a gentle boil. Add pasta; cook for 5 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium, add meatballs, and simmer gently until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in fennel and remaining parsley.
• Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

MISO CHICKEN MEATBALLS IN BROTH

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients for the meatballs and season well. With wet hands, shape them into balls about the size of a walnut. Put them on a baking tray, cover and chill for about 30 mins.
• Heat about 1½ tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and cook the meatballs in two batches, or use two pans, adding more oil if you need it. You need a good colour on the outside. Turn the heat down to cook the meatballs through, rolling them in the miso juices they release as they cook. It will take about 8-10 mins to cook each batch. Cook the rice noodles for 1 min less than pack instructions, drain and set aside.
• Heat the stock in a saucepan and add 1 chilli, the ginger and garlic. Simmer for 4 mins. Add the meatballs and soy and simmer gently for 3 mins, then add the spring onions, rice noodles, spinach and the rest of the chilli. Add a little lime to taste, then divide between bowls and serve.

Using a spring-loaded 1/4-cup ice-cream scoop or two large spoons, drop meatball mixture into broth (you should have 18 meatballs).
