Ingredients
- 500 g Minced meat (beef or pork)
- 100 g Stale bread
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 liter Water
- 50 g Butter

1. In a bowl, combine the minced meat, soaked bread, onion, egg, and spices. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Form the mixture into small meatballs and set aside.
3. In a pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the meatballs. Cook until they float to the surface, then simmer for a few minutes.
4. Remove the meatballs and set aside, reserving the cooking liquid.
5. In a separate pan, melt butter and sauté flour to create a roux. Gradually add the reserved cooking liquid while stirring to avoid lumps.
