Directions:
|
In a flameproof casserole lightly brown pieces of veal in 3 tablespoons butter. Add 1 cup consomme and herbs, shallots, and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer over low heat until meat is just tender, about 1 hour.
FOR THE MEATBALLS: In a bowl mix ground veal, pork, bread crumbs, milk, and egg.
Roll mixture into tiny meatballs the size of a nut. Saute balls in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add mushroom caps and saute until lightly browned; add to stew.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
To the pan drippings where you fried the meatballs, add flour. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups consomme. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until smooth and thickened. Gradually stir hot sauce into egg yolks and lemon juice.
Simmer sauce for 5 minutes. Add to stew.
Blend well and reheat slightly. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes. Makes 6 servings.
