The meatballs look delicious. I have a similar receipe too at http://yemekzevki.net/2007/10/10/patates-puresi-domates-soslu-top-kofteler/ but I did not translated it into English yet. I’ll post it to my English blog as soon as possible.

I now understand how the Finns get through those long winters!!

My wife is of Finnish ancestery so I asked her to make me these meatballs last weekend. Unfortunately, she had just pulled a double shift at the Correctional Medical Center (she’s a RN) and ended up drinking most of the brandy during the 30 minute simmering while we ate some crabmeat appetizers and watched Meet the Press.

We ended up using a hit of marsala with some Grey Goose vodka. 2 cups seemed like a lot at first, but we ended up really enjoying the sauce. And the meatballs.

Thanks.

Jee! Kiitos!

Mä oon NIIN kaivannut Torin jallupullia ulkomailla ollessa ettei mitään rajaa! Pakko päästä heti testaamaan, mutta voisitko kertoa uusavuttomalle mitä on demi-glace?

Tänks :)

Hei,

Tiedättekö voisiko Blogilistan haamupäivityksille tehdä jotain? Pidän blogistanne mutta on varsin ärsyttävää, että Blogilista ilmoittaa jatkuvasti, että blogianne on päivitetty, vaikka viimeisin postaus on tämä marraskuinen.

Thanks for posting this…another Scandinavian favorite of mine! I tried a Finnish meatballs recipe before, and although yummy, the sauce did not sounds as luscious as this! Brandy…oh my!

Ripa: I guess you’re right; 1 dl of flour might be too much for the amount of water. I actually like the sauce more than the meatballs, so I simply add water until the consistency feels right. The browned flour has a nice taste to it if let to simmer for 1+ hours. But if in hurry, simply use less flours or substitute with Maizena or similar.

Lydia: Thanks :)

Ah, a Helsinki classic!

However, 1 dl of flour? Really? At least my experiment with that amount didn’t really leave much potential for simmering, more along the lines of becoming a meaty pancake. :)

Another nitpick on the measurements: 2 dl of demi-glace should be 0.8 cups, I guess?

Kudos, still!
