Belgian meatballs braised in beer with endives (Gehaktballetjes gestoofd met witloof en bier / Fricadelles aux endives a la biere belge) from The Taste of Belgium (page 196) by Ruth Van Waerebeek

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Mashed potatoes with caramelised shallots (Stoemp met sjalotjes / Stoemp avec echalotes)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute ground veal for ground pork, blonde ale for blond Pilsner beer, and beef broth for chicken broth. Can use the book's "Marie's chicken broth (Marie's kippenbouillon / Fond de volaille)" recipe.

    Really tasty meatballs. I couldn't find Belgian endive so I just omitted it.
