Execution method

For the meatballs

  • Put the milk and bread in a large bowl and soak it for 15 minutes until the bread absorbs the liquids and softens.
  • Then, combine the remaining ingredients for the meatballs and knead well until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover and leave the mixture in the refrigerator overnight, preferably or for 1-2 hours at least.
  • Then, wearing gloves, shape small round meatballs.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan and carefully put in 3 portions of the meatballs. Once they get colored on one side we turn them and let them brown on the other side. Transfer them to a pan lined with oil paste in a preheated oven at 150 ℃ until we prepare our sauce.

For the sauce

  • In the same pan, add the butter and let it melt. Add the goster sauce, mustard and flour and mix with a wooden spoon until all our ingredients are mixed.
  • Then add the cube that we have dissolved in 1000 ml of hot water and the cream.
  • Lower to low heat and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Put the meatballs in the pan to bring to a boil and mix with the sauce. Add the parsley and mix.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir.
  • Serve the sauce with spaghetti, rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy.
