Moose Meatballs
Print This Recipe
As with other moose recipes, if you don't have moose meat, substitute beef - or move to Alaska! The dehydrated onion bits leave a slightly crisp surface on the meatballs. Serve the meatballs with wide egg noodles or rice.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground moose meat or beef
1 large tart green apple, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and shredded
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons dehydrated onion bits
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup water
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried rosemaryIn a large bowl, combine the moose meat, apple, salt, pepper, and onion bits. Mix and shape into 1-inch balls.
Roll the balls in the bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add the meatballs and cook over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain off any excess oil.
Mix together wine, water, tomato sauce, and rosemary. Pour over the meatballs, cover, and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
