Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the beef and the parsley and cook for a couple of minutes. Reserve.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour slowly to make a roux.
Step 3
Gradually add the broth, making sure the roux is absorbing the liquid. Stir constantly until it thickens.
Step 4
Add the meat mixture and cook for a little longer until you have a very thick gravy. Stir in the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Step 5
Transfer the gravy to a shallow container and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Step 6
Once the gravy is chilled and solidified, roll the bitterballen (1 inch diameter).
Step 7
Roll the bitterballen in the all purpose flour, then the egg wash and finally the breadcrubs. Proceed until you've breaded all bitterballen.
Step 8
Bring your bitterballen to the freezer for 30 minutes before frying.
Step 9
In a small saucepan, heat enough oil to cover the balls.
Step 10
Fry your bitterballen, 5 at a time, until golden brown.
Step 11
Set your bitterballen on a plate covered in paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Step 12
Serve the bitterballen hot, with some grainy mustard on the side.
