Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds ground lean pork
2 Idaho potatoes, about 3/4 pound, trimmed
4 large carrots, about 3/4 pound, trimmed and scraped
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped, peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned imported tomatoes with liquid
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Put pork in mixing bowl.
  • Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes; there should be 2 cups. Put them in a bowl and add cold water to cover. Cut carrots into rounds approximately same size as potatoes; there should be 2 cups. Set aside.
  • Heat butter in small skillet and add 1/2 of onions and 1/2 teaspoon garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add to pork. Add ginger, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, salt, pepper and egg. Blend well.
  • Have small bowl of cold water ready. Divide pork mixture into 24 portions and, using dampened fingers and palms, shape each into ball.
  • Sprinkle balls with remaining bread crumbs and roll balls to coat with crumbs. Discard excess.
  • Heat oil in skillet large enough to hold meatballs without crowding. Add meatballs and cook, turning often to brown evenly, 2 or 3 minutes. Scatter remaining onions and minced garlic around meatballs.
  • Add wine and bring to boil. Add tomatoes and bring to boil. Drain potatoes and add them. Add carrots, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 20 minutes.
  • Put frozen peas in sieve and run briefly under piping hot water from faucet. Add them to ragout. Bring to boil and serve.
