SAUCE
To make: Wet bread (if using bread and not crumbs or matzah meal), mix the bread or the crumbs/meal in with the meat, eggs and spices. Mix well. Shape meat into meatballs -- not too small as they boil down a bit. Boil water (½ fill a large pot with water) Drop meatballs into boiling water. Boil for 20-30 minutes. Skim fat off the top.
Add the sauce ingredients: Gently boil until meatballs are done -- about 20 mins.
They get better after they sit for a day or so in the frige in their sauce! From: "Andrea Herrera" <andreah@...> Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #205 by jefffree@... on Jun 28, 1997
