Today I made turkey meatballs in a dill sauce. Dill sauce and dill soups are very popular in Poland and are some of the favourite meals of Polish kids.
This recipe was inspired by the school menu I received from one of the Polish schools.
You can use this sauce with meats and with a small modification with fish. For fish I would add 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice.
Ingredient:
1. Meatballs
500 g ground turkey
1 large carrot, finely grated
1 cup of fresh parsley
1 medium onion
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
Optional bread crumbs
2. Dill sauce
1 cup of vegetable stock
3/4 cup of cream
1 pack of fresh dill (about 1 cup)
1 tsp turmeric
2-3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
Sea salt, pepper to taste
Making meatballs
1. Blend fresh parsley with olive oil
2. On a small heat saute finely chopped onion and crushed and finely chopped garlic.
3. Mix all ingredients for meatballs together.
4. Form balls of similar size for even cooking.
5. Heat the pan with ghee or some oil using moderate heat. Place the meatballs and let them acquire some color, while gently stirring them.
6. When ready, set them aside.
Making dill sauce
1. Heat the stock on a low heat.
2. Add butter, dill, cream, and spices. Mix well. Allow to cook for about 7 minutes.
3. Mix in flour to thicken the sauce.
4. Transfer the sauce to the pan with meatballs and gently cook on a low gas mark for 10-15 minutes.
