Ingredients

__________MEATBALLS__________

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup minced onions

4 flat anchovies, mashed

1-1/2 lbs ground chuck beef

1 cup fresh soft bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fine ground black pepper

1/4 cup milk

1 beaten egg

__________POACHING LIQUID__________

4 cups beef broth

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion

2 dried whole bay leaves

__________SAUCE__________

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons flour

2 cups reserved poaching liquid

2 tablespoons lemon, juice

2 tablespoons rinsed, drained capers

1 well beaten eggyolk

1/4 cup cream

Directions

Sauté the minced onions in butter until the onions are soft. Mash the anchovy fillets into a coarse paste. Mix cooked onions, anchovy paste and ground beef. Add salt and pepper, soft bread crumbs and toss to mix well. Stir in milk and egg and form into 1-1/2-inch meatballs.

Poach meatballs in boiling poaching liquid for about 20 minutes. Remove meatballs from liquid and keep covered and warm until needed.

Strain the poaching liquid and reduce on high heat by half, reserve 2 cups for sauce.

Melt butter in skillet and add flour. Mix well. Gradually add the reserved 2 cups of poaching liquid to form a sauce. As sauce thickens, add the lemon juice and capers and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix egg yolk and cream. Add some of the hot sauce to this and mix well; then add egg-cream to sauce. Cook for five minutes but do not let the egg curdle.

Pour sauce over meatballs nested in cooked wide egg noodles. Serve with German rye or Pumpernickle bread and butter.

I have a recipe for this too but it's a little different. In mine you have some allspice berries and cloves to the poaching liquid and the meat mixture is beef, pork, veal without the anchovies. I'm going to give yours a try with anchovy looks tatsy!
