Boulettes (meatballs) from Out of Old Manitoba Kitchens
by Christine Hanlon
Hanlon said this Métis recipe for meatballs is one of her favourites. The gravy is made by boiling down the liquid from cooking the meatballs, and Hanlon said she was surprised at how easy and effective it is.
Hanlon said it's important to honour Indigenous culinary knowledge and heritage in Manitoba, which she said helped shape cuisine for settlers, too.
The recipe should make enough for six people.
Ingredients:
8 cups of water.
2 pounds of ground beef, moose or deer.
3 large onions, diced.
6 medium carrots cut in pieces (optional).
6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters (optional).

Salt and pepper to taste.
Directions:
Step 1 — In a large pot, bring water to a boil, adding salt and pepper, along with carrots and potatoes, if using.
Step 2 — Mix ground meat and onions, forming two-inch balls, and roll in flour.
Step 3 — Drop meatballs gently in boiling water, then lower heat and simmer for one hour.
