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
