SWEDISH MEATBALLS
Yield: 12 servings Source: "Forbidden Foods Diabetic Cooking" by Maggie Powers Info: http://diabeticgourmet.com/book_archive/details/12.shtml INGREDIENTS - 1 egg - 1/2 cup low-fat (1%) milk - 2 slices white bread, lightly toasted and made into coarse crumbs - 1/2 small onion, minced - 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley - 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) - 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg - 1 pound ground skinless turkey breast - 1/2 pound lean ground pork - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour - 2 teaspoons vegetable oil DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and bread crumbs; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the onion, parsley, salt, allspice, and nutmeg; blend well. Add the meats and stir with a fork until well blended. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on a piece of waxed paper and place next to the meat bowl. Shape the meat into 48 meatballs, about 1 tablespoon each. Dip each meatball lightly in the flour and place on a baking sheet. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add half the meatballs and cook until browned all over, 5 minutes. Cover and cook the meatballs until the meat is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. (Remaining meatballs should be refrigerated.) Transfer the cooked meatballs to a bowl, cover, and keep warm. Remove any small meat pieces from the skillet. Repeat step 3 with the remaining meatballs.

On the other hand, when we are ungrateful, we tend to shut ourselves off from the good we might otherwise experience. -Sylvia --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
