Dutch Bitterballen with Fried Meatballs and Sauce

Method

1. In a bowl, mix beef and pork mince with chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
2. Gradually add beef stock while mixing to create a moist mixture.
3. Form the mixture into small, oval-shaped balls (about 3 cm in size).
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan to 180°C (350°F).
5. Fry the bitterballen until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Drain on paper towels and serve with a side of sauce and a small cup of butter.
7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
