Directions
Meatballs in Caper Sauce (Konigsberger Klopse), From: The Eastern European Cookbook by Kay Shaw Nelson -East Germany Russians call it ‘Kaliningrad’ This is an easy version all the other versions I’ve seen posted make a mess of your kitchen , Despite the fact that I really messed up when planning for this recipe, it still came out very well I could not find anchovies anywhere at the store, so skipped them Then as I was cooking, I discovered not only did I not have beef broth, I also did not have lemon juice used a packet of onion soup mix with 4 cups water and it seemed to do the trick and the sauce still came out VERY tasty I skipped out on the lemon juice, having no suitable subsitute Although I made several subsitutions & skipped some ingredients, still it was very tasty The only addition I made was to put some garlic into the meatballs We liked the capers in the sauce Even my 1 year old son ate them- inhaled them actually, so it was enjoyed all around Thanks for posting the recipe , DH took one bite and said I love this sauce That’s a good sign I made as posted with the exception of cutting the sauce in half because I froze half of the meatballs We will have another excellent meal in the future Yum! I made the meatballs with 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground pork Served over noodles The meatball recipe is very similar to my German hamburger recipe Omit the anchovy and make into patties and fry them Thanks for posting Made for kittencalskitchen com tag game
