German Meatballs Fleischkuechle

---

The german meatball is not actually a ball - it looks more like a disk. It is one of my favorite childhood foods and i keep on making these for private dinners, big brunches, a party gift, picnicks,... You get the idea: easy to prepare, store, and take around, hot or cold, goes with almost anything. A taste of germany - enjoy!!

Steps

---

Start by soaking the dry bread with some lukewarm milk.

---

When done , quench the milk out of the bread.

---

Meanwhile , finely chop onions and saut with some oil or butter in a pan until they are transparent.

---

Shred the carrot and saut with the onions until soft.

---

Let cool.

---

Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.

---

Add spices to taste.

---

Remember: add a little more salt than you think you should.

---

The frying will take off some salt , so it prevents the meatballs from tasting boring.

---

Now heat margarine or butter in a non-stick pan , form disks from the meat dough and fry thoroughly from both sides.

---

Serving suggestion: with mashed potatoes and baby carrots with peas.
