German Meatballs
A recipe from a 1980’s cookbook, highlighting all the diversity of San Antonio’s cultures.
This is Great Stand-alone Meatball to use in other recipes.
This is a variation of Konigsberger Klopse.
Traditional versions of this recipe can be seasoned with lemon, capers, cloves and anchovies for added taste and is made as a white sauce (no tomato sauce) from boiling the meatballs and using the broth. I changed the recipe to bake the meatballs.

Pot Roast with Garlic Pockets
This stove-top Pot Roast is simple, hearty and simmers for hours, making your kitchen smell delightfully rustic, with all those garlic cloves stuffed into the top of the roast and cooked in a classic Dutch Oven.
btw…I don’t know when Pots & Pans started to be called “Cookware, Skillets and Saucepans”, but the evolution of cooking terminology can get alittle complicated.
Out in the Wild West of Texas, early settlers, chuck wagon cooks, and cowboys cooked over an open fire and used a heavy black cast iron pot and tightly fit lid, known as a version of a Dutch Oven. Dutch Ovens have been used in cooking hundreds and years, and sometimes also called casserole dishes (casserole means “pot” in French). Are we confused yet?
Of course, about a hundred years ago, the French developed a hugely successful enamelled cast iron version, sometimes also called a “French Oven” and today, every beginner to advanced cook needs a least one of these classic pieces of “cookware” on their shelves. I’m still alittle confused on the correct descriptions, but my Dutch Oven (okay, it was made in France) is one of my favorite ways to cook, boil, roast and simmer.
