Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1/2lb ground venison(or other game meat)
  • 1/2lb ground pork
  • 1/4 cup onion(finely chopped)
  • 1 pc egg(beaten)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter(for frying)

Buns and Garnish

  • 12 pcs yeast buns(small, soft)
  • 2 tbsp stone-ground mustard(for spreading)
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds(lightly toasted)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill(chopped, for garnish (optional))

Instructions

Meatball Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ground venison, ground pork, chopped onion, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Cooking the Meatballs

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Carefully add the meatballs to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Pan-fry the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

Assembling the Buns

  1. Slice the yeast buns in half horizontally.
  2. Spread a thin layer of stone-ground mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
  3. Place one or two cooked meatballs on top of the mustard on each bun.
  4. Sprinkle lightly with toasted caraway seeds.
  5. Top with the other half of the bun.

Tips

  • For the best texture, ensure your game meat and pork are cold when mixing the meatballs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying meatballs; this ensures a nice, even brown crust.
  • Serve these stuffed buns warm as an appetizer or a light lunch, garnished with fresh dill if desired.
