Well-spiced meatballs simmering in a thick brown gravy that coats the spoon and makes the whole house smell like the holidays. At my grandparents’ place, we had it on Christmas Eve. And I’ll tell you a secret: theirs was never as good as this one! Serve it with a big bowl of mashed potatoes, fruit ketchup and pickled beets, and nobody’s leaving the table before their plate is clean.<\/p>\n
I wanted a version that’s easier to make, and faster too. Meatballs, a homemade brown gravy, one hour of simmering, and you’re done. It tastes like the real old-fashioned Quebec rago\u00fbt, without spending your whole day on it.<\/p>\n
It’s what gives the gravy its brown color and its deep, almost nutty taste. You toast it dry in a skillet until it turns caramel. It takes five minutes, but don’t take your eyes off it! For the meatballs, I use a pork, veal and beef mix for the blend of flavors. All beef or all pork is just as good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
