Like Sauerkraut Balls?
The secret is out. Some families are still entertaining their guests indoors.
It’s no wonder when they can do it with recipes like this one for Sauerkraut Balls. “They’re terrific,” Mrs. Frank Kochis of 664 E. Hopocan av. in Barberton assures Mrs. Samuel Becker who asked for the recipe.
4 tablespoons margarine
1 chopped onion
1 1/3 cups chopped ham
1/2 clove garlic (minced)
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup broth
3 cups sauerkraut, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
She directs: Melt margarine in frying pan and brown chopped onion slightly. Add chopped ham and garlic, brown slightly. Stir in flour and cook thoroughly. Add the broth, sauerkraut, parsley and cook a few minutes more. This should form a stiff paste. When cool, form into balls about an inch in diameter.
To bread them, beat 1 egg and 2 cups of milk together. Dip sauerkraut balls in flour, then the egg mixture and then soft bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat. Makes 50.
