We were celebrating Eid ul Azha past week. Every house have a lot of meat stored in their refrigerator. I decided to make a Dutch (Netherlands - Holland) dish Gehaktballen to give a different taste to my family and friends. It is a very popular dish of Netherlands. I wrote to a Dutch friend https://www.facebook.com/irmgard.sandersenoordman for tips and recipes. Although she was in Hospital at Ulm Germany she send us her mothers recipes and serving suggestions. We dedicate our this recipe to her Family and pray for her and her son Thomas's good health.
