Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 1lb (454g) ground venison or beef
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon umami mushroom powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Stroganoff
- 1 tablespoon lard or cooking oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1/2 lb (225g) chanterelles, cut into large pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups venison, beef, mushroom, or chicken stock
- 1 cup 14% sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Chives or parsley to garnish
- Egg noodles, rice, or potatoes to serve
Preparation
Mix the ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, mushroom powder, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Once combined, mix well and stir in one direction for 30 seconds. This makes firmer meatballs which will prevent them from falling apart in the sauce.
Wet your hands and form meatballs a bit smaller than a ping-pong ball. You should end up with approximately 25 meatballs.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs and brown for 5-8 minutes, gently rolling them around so they get browned on all sides.
Add the onions to the meatballs and cook, gently stirring, for about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Add the stock, sour cream, and mustard, stirring them in.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens into a gravy-like consistency, 4-8 minutes.
Serve over noodles, rice, or potatoes. Garnish with snipped chives or parsley and more sour cream. Enjoy!
