Carnatzlach, Rumanian Meatballs  
From: Eva Kende  
Food is the most powerful reminder of the past. I get a lot of requests for recipes  
remembered from kitchens of long-gone mothers and grandmothers. Since most of these  
are colloquial names of foods of the many ethnic entities that lived in the Austro-  
Hungarian Empire, it's often hard to decipher what language or spelling might fit the  
request. I go around the house doing my chores muttering and enouncing the  
phonetically spelled request until suddenly I find the word. Then I head to my cookbooks,  
hopefully to find the recipe that will connect the person with his or her roots. It's a very  
satisfying feeling to fulfill someone's nostalgic dream. This recipe is the fruit of just such  
a quest, but has become a family favorite in my home.

1/2 lb. ground beef  
large onion, grated  
large carrot, grated  
cloves garlic, minced  
tsp. marjoram (dry)  
tsp. savory (dry)  
tsp. sage (dry)  
large eggs, lightly beaten  
tsp. salt  
/4 tsp. black pepper  
tbsp. flour  
/2 tsp. paprika  
Preheat oven to 350F.  
Combine all ingredients except flour and paprika. Mix well, kneading with your hands  
until the mixture can be formed into balls. Make golf-ball sized meatballs then elongate  
them to form into rolls 3/4 inch in diameter, 2-3 inches long, tapering at each end. Roll in  
flour and paprika mixture. Broil under moderate heat, turning rolls occasionally to brown  
all sides. Serves 6.  
I usually multiply the quantities and make a whole bunch of these tasty "bullets". They  
freeze well and come in handy when I have no time to cook or unexpected company
