Simon has just worked on and published an amazing book called 'Around the World in 80 Meatballs' by Bunny Banyai that gives an extraordinary insight into how the meatball exists in cultures all around the world.
Yumi is skeptical about Japanese meatballs but Simon has an incredible German recipe that delivers with a Spinach Sauce that he is going to talk about today.
CREAMY SPINACH SAUCE
Boil a whole bunch of washed English spinach in salted water for 4-5mins. Drain well, reserving a half-cup of the liquid.
Turn 2tbs of plain flour into a roux by frying it up in 2tbs of butter. Cook it in for 2-3 mins.
Add milk then the spinach water, whisking the whole time. Add 1/2 garlic clove, chopped, simmer down for 5-6 minutes, then add back in the spinach. Season with a gentle grating of nutmeg and season well with salt and pepper.
Dunk your fave (paprika seasoned) meatballs in this delicious sauce and enjoy!
