POLISH SMOKED MEATBALLS WITH SAVORY KRAUT
It is important to use fresh sausage in this and not the presmoked type. Otherwise you will never shape it into meatballs.

Steps:
- Combine meatball ingredients until smooth, then chill.
- Saute the onion, celery and juniper berries in the oil until tender. Stir in the kraut, salt, pepper, apple juice, and water. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 60-90 minutes or until most all of the liquid has cooked away. Keep warm.
- Form meat mixture into meatballs, using wet hands. Grill meatballs (you can place on soaked skewers if you like)(I like grilling them on an oiled fine-mesh grate) over hot coals or broil or bake until cooked through. Serve meatballs with kraut.

POLISH MEATBALLS AKA KOTLETY
This is a Polish meatball type dish that is best made with higher quality ground beef. I prefer grass fed, but its certainly easy and tasty either way. I can be easily doubled for more people. Goes well with potatoes, but most carbs will do.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients for the kotlety in a bowl till everything comes together.
- Make golf-ball sized, or a bit larger, balls with the meat and place on a plate until needed.
- Heat a large skillet and use your preferred oil/fat, then turn the heat down low once it's heated all the way through.
- Put the meat on, it should sizzle lightly. If it doesn't, your heat is too low.
- Each kotlet should be cooked for a 3-4 minutes per side, then flipped. It will take a little time to heat them all the way through, slice with a knife if unsure.
- Once all the kotlety are cooked, put them to the side.
- Keep the heat low, and sautee the mushrooms in the pan, making sure all the browned bits and fat coat them.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the heavy cream and deglaze the pan.
- Serve kotlely, pour sauce on top.
