Bitterballen!

For some time now I was in the urgent need for a greasy snack. But not just a snack snack. No...it had to be 'bitterballen'! This is a snack that you can buy on every corner of the street in The Netherlands, but is nowhere to be found in Melbourne.

Well, that meant that I had to make them myself.

And believe me...I'm not that handy in a kitchen as I am with crafts. But I gave it a go.....

...chopping the ingredients...

...making beef stock with some veggies. Then making a roux.
And let it cool in the fridge for a while.

Rolling little balls of roux trough eggs and breadcrumbs and let them cool again.

And the last step is to fry them in a lot of oil. Tadaaa!
This is what mine looked like.

Alright, they don't look as nice and round as the ones beneath here. And they were a bit big. And I did use a bit to much Bouquet Garni.....
But it satisfied my needs.

As always after eating snack food I now feel like a giant elephant though...
