Directions:
- Make the Meatballs:.
- Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and knead well.
- Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
- When ready to cook them, shape into golf ball sized portions (around 30).
- Place a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides; do this in batches (do not over-cook, they will cook further with the leeks).
- Remove meat to a plate and pour off all the accumulated fat in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low, add 4 tablespoons of butter and scrape up any bits of fond.
- Add the leeks and celery and slowly saute, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
- Add the meatballs and stir everything together.
- Add just enough water to come about two thirds of the way up the meatballs.
- Cover and simmer over very low heat for about an hour, checking occasionally to make sure there is sufficient liquid to prevent scorching.
- If you like (it does add amazing richness to the dish), swirl two tablespoons of butter in the pan, tipping it to distribute the butter throughout the meat and leeks.
- Remove from heat, rest briefly, and serve.
