- Preparation: 35 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (823 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 120 g Pork, ground, raw
- 45 g Onions, raw
- 16 g Flour, all-purpose
- 10 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Milk, whole
- 1 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 450 g Water
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
- 2.5 g Curry powder
- 30 g Cream, light (cooking cream)
- 55 g Rice, white, long-grain
- 50 g Cucumber, raw
- 10 g Vinegar, white
- 5 g Sugar
Method
- Grate a third of the onion finely and mix it with the pork, half the flour, the egg, the milk, half the salt and most of the pepper. Stir hard until the mince is firm and sticky, then chill it for 15 minutes.
- For the cucumber salad, slice the cucumber paper-thin and mix it with the vinegar, the sugar, a pinch of the salt and the rest of the pepper. Leave it to stand while you cook.
- Bring the water to the boil in a wide pan with the rest of the salt. With a wet teaspoon, shape the mince into small balls and drop them into the barely simmering water. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, until they float and are cooked through. Lift them out and keep the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, boil the rice in plenty of water for 12-15 minutes, until tender, and drain it.
- Chop the rest of the onion. Melt the butter in a pot and soften the onion for 3-4 minutes, then add the curry powder and fry it for 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant.
- Stir in the rest of the flour, then whisk in about 150 ml of the meatballs' cooking water a little at a time and simmer for 5 minutes, until smooth and thickened.
- Stir in the cream, add the meatballs and heat them through in the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Taste for salt.
- Serve with the rice and the cucumber salad.
