Last night I felt like making some meatballs for dinner, and there's a meatball throw down going on, so why the phark not?
Dutch style aren't too different from regular meatballs, except that they're huge and can be eaten as a main dish.
I didn't get any pics of making the balls, pretty standard stuff there...
Heat a couple tablespoons of butter in the cast iron skillet, then brown the meatballs on all sides.
Then I added a bit of water and covered the pan for them to simmer for almost an hour. When they were done I removed them to a plate to rest while I made pan gravy and the rest of the meal.
Served with honey-butter peas and a side salad, though more traditionally this would be eaten with mashed potatoes with the pan gravy over everything.
