Zrazy with Mushroom Sauce is part of my Ukrainian dinner for which the menu is included on my “Recipes” page.
Zrazy
2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup or more milk
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground chicken
1 small onion, grated
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper
Combine bread crumbs, milk and let stand for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs, place on rimmed baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes until done. Place in casserole, pour Mushroom Sauce over and serve.
I quite often freeze the meatballs ahead of time. When I’m ready to use them I put them in a pot with 1/2 cup hot stock and heat through.
Mushroom Sauce
1/2 small onion, chopped fine
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup stock
1/2 cup sweet cream
1 teaspoon chopped dill
Salt and pepper
Cook onion in butter until tender. Add the mushrooms and saute for 10 – 12 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir. Pour in stock and stir constantly until smooth and thick. Add the sweet cream and then cook for a few minutes. Mix in dill, season to taste, and pour over Zrazy.
