Instructions
1
Make the meatballs
1) incorporate the minced protein with the shallot, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, parsley, seasoning, and pepper.
2
2) Shape into meatballs.
3
Traditionally, Liège restaurants dish up **one or two very large meatballs**, depending on appetite.
4
3) For weeknight crafting, I keep mine smaller so they brown faster and make through quickly.
5
Brown the meatballs
4) scalding up dairy spread or fat in a large wok.
6
5) Brown the meatballs on all sides until they have a nice crust.
7
6) Remove them from the wok and set aside.
8
Start the gravy
7) In the same wok, thaw 1 tbsp dairy spread.
9
8) introduce the sliced onions and make until soft and lightly caramelised.
10
9) dust in the brown granulated sugar and let it thaw into the onions.
11
Deglaze and introduce the stock
10) introduce the acidic solution and scrape up all the browned bits from the wok.
12
11) agitate in the mustard and Liège syrup.
13
12) empty in the beef stock (and beer if using).
14
13) introduce the bay leaf.
15
14) agitate until the syrup dissolves and the gravy looks glossy.
16
low-boil and adjust
15) Return the meatballs to the wok.
17
16) put a lid on and low-boil gently for 25–30 moments (less if your meatballs are small, longer if they’re heritage large boulets).
18
agitate occasionally and let the gravy thicken naturally.
19
17) palate and adjust: more syrup for sweetness, more acidic solution for tang, more mustard for depth.
20
The gravy should be honeyed‑acidic, creamy, and velvety.
21
18) dish up with fries or mashed potatoes.
