Preparation
 
This is a bit of a task to prepare, but well worth the effort. The
recipe was passed down for many generations in my husbands family who
immigrated here from Russia (being Russian Jews) so, I have no idea
why they called it German meatballs, but a meatball by any other
name...I guess! Put the garlic into a water glass and pour 2 T
boiling water over it. Mash the garlic well, then add 2 T. more
boiling water. Strain through a kitchen towel, saving the liquid
only. Mix together all the ingredients, including garlic liquid then
shape into balls about the size of a large egg. Roll the balls in the
flour until well coated. Melt enough fat to make about 1/2" in a
heavy skillet or cast iron cooking pot. Brown the meat balls in the
fat. Remove the meatballs and pour off all but 4 T. of the fat.
SAUCE: Add the qt. of water to the reserved fat along with thecatsup.
Make a paste of the sauce ingredients, stirring in the water to get a
consistency of a thin cream. After the water-catsup mixture is warm,
slowly add this mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumping, until
the mixture has been well absorbed into the liquid. Cook gently until
the sauce is slightly thickened. Place meatball in the pan, or in an
oven-proof roaster and make sure they are covered with the sauce.
Cover pan and bake in hot oven for 1 hour. Serve with mashed
potatoes. (My friends also love it with pasta or rice!)
