Mother Of Invention Crock Pot Klops Recipes

KONIGSBERGER KLOPSE (GERMAN MEATBALLS IN CREAMY CAPER SAUCE)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven such as Le Creuset, heat broth ingredients (stock, bay leaf, cider vinegar, white wine, peppercorns, and 2 tablespoons capers) to a simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, combine meatball ingredients, mix well.
• Form meat mixture into golf-ball sized balls (note: mixture will be a bit sticky and delicate to work with, but this is normal, and the result will be a moist and tender meatball!). Roll them in flour, and carefully place into hot broth; simmer each batch for 15 minutes, but do not boil. (Tip: do not crowd meatballs, ie only simmer about 10-12 meatballs at a time). Note that the broth will thicken as you add the flour covered meatballs, which will make a nice sauce.
• Carefully remove meatballs from the hot broth with a slotted spoon, and keep them warm in a covered bowl stored in the oven while making the sauce. Discard bay leaf.
• To Make Cream Sauce:.
• To hot broth stir in the sauce ingredients and heat through, but do not boil.
• Add the cooked meatballs to the heated sauce, stir gently and warm through.
• To Serve:.
• Serve Meatballs and Cream Sauce with boiled new potatoes (salzkartoffel) or hot buttered spaetzle noodles, and German Rotkohl recipe #108449. Sprinkle with snipped fresh parsley, for garnish.
• To Serve as an Appetizer:.
• Make the meatballs smaller and serve warm from the crock pot with toothpicks, buttered rolls and potato salad recipe #309891.

MOTHER OF INVENTION CROCK POT KLOPS

Steps:

• Mix all the klops ingredients together.
• With wet hands, form giant flattened meatballs about 2 inches in diameter.
• Place the klops in the crock pot. I have a 7 quart crock, so I got most of them in one layer, with one or two in a second layer. If you have a smaller crock, just gently place the layers of klops on top of each other.
• Mix all the sauce ingredients together.
• Pour over the klops.
• Cook for one hour on high.
• Cook for 4 hours on low.
• The flavor of the meat permeates the sauce, and the flavor of the sauce permeates the meat.
• Serve with mashed potatoes.
