ReceptnaptárMeatballs in dill and sour cream sauce (klopsiki w sosie koperkowym)
Klopsiki are small, tender meatballs simmered in a dill and sour cream sauce. They are a favourite of Polish home cooking, and children especially love them, because they are soft, mild and very easy to eat. With rice or potatoes they make a complete lunch, and plenty of fresh dill gives the sauce a summery freshness, even in winter.

Tips
- Brown the meatballs only briefly all over, because they finish cooking in the sauce, and this keeps them tender and juicy.
- Mix the sour cream smooth with the flour before pouring it into the sauce, so that it does not turn lumpy.
- Stir in the dill at the end, off the heat, because it quickly loses its aroma in hot sauce.
Frequently asked questions
Can the meatballs be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze them raw or browned, on a tray. The finished sour cream sauce tends to split after freezing, so make that fresh.
What can replace the dill?
Parsley with a little lemon zest also works, but it is dill that gives the dish its characteristic flavour. It is also made with a tomato sauce, another well-known version in Poland.
