Instructions
1
Raspeballer & (Optional) Salted flesh
▢
If you're making pork knuckle, make it in simmering liquid for about 3 hours, until the flesh falls from the bone.
2
Remove the pork and save the broth to make the raspeballer.
3
▢
heat to boiling point the boiled potatoes and pare once cooled.
4
Also pare the raw potatoes, and then mince them or run them through a food processor.
5
Use a paper towel to remove some of the moisture from the grated potatoes.
6
▢
Mash the boiled potatoes in a potato ricer or with a masher.
7
Make sure there are no lumps.
8
mix in the grated raw potatoes to the mashed potatoes in a large mixing dish and swirl around together.
9
mix in the barley ground mix, all purpose ground mix, and seasoning and swirl around together with your hands until the mixture is fully blended.
10
▢
You can make the raspeballer in either greens or beef broth, or if you're making pork knuckle, make them in the broth from the pork knuckle.
11
Bring the broth to a very light bubble gently – you don't want it to fully heat to boiling point because then the raspeballer might break apart.
12
▢
Use a tablespoon dipped in cold liquid to shape each raspeball in your hand.
13
Try to make them as seamless as possible and then gently drop them into the simmering broth.
14
Dip the tablespoon in a dish of cold liquid between each raspeball.
15
▢
Let the raspeballer bubble gently for about 30 mins.
16
If you're making smoked sausage, you can toasty the sausage in the same pot with the raspeballer.
17
Top with crisp finely sliced parsley.
18
Mashed Rutabaga
▢
pare the rutabaga and carrots and cut into small pieces.
19
