These Medieval Meatballs are a perfect buffet or party dish. The meat and sauce both have just enough spice to notice, but not so much as to be overpowering. They're also very easy to make. Note that the sauce recipe makes way more than enough for double the number of pumpes. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
2 egg yolks |
1/4 cup currants |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon mace |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 pinch saffron |
4 cups beef broth (approx.) |
1/4 cup wine (approx.) |
2 cups almond milk |
1 tablespoon rice flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon mace |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix ground beef, egg yolkes, currants, sugar, and spices.
2. Form into small balls, about an inch in diameter.
3. Place in boiling broth along with wine and cook until done - about 15 minutes.
4. Remove from broth and place in serving dish.
5. In a separate pan mix almond milk, rice flour, sugar, and mace.
6. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer over medium head until thick.
7. Pour just enough sauce over the pumpes to thoroughly coat them and serve.
