My girlfriend makes this dish from time to time. It's a family recipe or something. It takes over two hours to make though!

Meatballs

The meatballs are straightforward. My girlfriend uses minced pork and minced beef, in a 50:50 ratio.

Ingredients

• pork and/or beef minced meat
• egg
• flour

Optional

• salt and pepper
• parsley
• garlic, cut small

Steps

1. Mix all ingredients (except the flour)
2. Make balls
3. Roll the balls in flour (otherwise they might fall apart during cooking)
4. Deep-fry
5. Dry the meatballs using kitchen paper

Sauce

Basically, the sauce is made from onion, carrot and water.

Ingredients

• Onion
• Carrot

Optional

• Tomato
• Bay leaf
• Green pepper
• Stock or broth

Steps

1. Cut the onion and carrot ("Very small!" says my girlfriend)
2. Fry the onion until it yellows
3. Add the carrot and cook until it softens
4. Add water or broth. Optional: also add tomato, pepper, bay leaf and stock
5. Cook until it's almost thick enough to be sauce
6. Add meatballs towards the end. The flour on the meatballs will make the sauce thicken
