👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients: ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly into a smooth mixture.
Form small balls (about 2–3 cm in diameter).
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Make the stew:
Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Sauté briefly to release the flavors.
Deglaze with the broth and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the Brussels sprouts and let the stew simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the meatballs:
Now add the browned meatballs to the stew and let them simmer for another 5–10 minutes to absorb the flavors of the broth.
Season the stew with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to taste.
4. Serve:
The stew is now ready to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a touch of freshness.
Serve with fresh bread or baguette to soak up the delicious broth.
