Mom's Norwegian Meatballs with Gravy (Kjøttkaker med brunsaus)

Name: Mom's Norwegian Meatballs with Gravy (Kjøttkaker med brunsaus)
Cuisine: European
Ingredients: 1/3 pound lean ground beef; 1/3 pound ground pork; 1/3 pound ground veal (if veal is unavailable use 1/2 lb each of beef and pork); 1 egg; 2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs; 1/2 cup whole milk; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/4 teaspoon allspice; 6 tablespoons butter; 1/4 cup flour; 4 cups chicken broth; 1/2 onion, skin removed but left in tact; 1/4 cup sour cream; 2 tablespoons red wine; gravy browning agent (eg. Kitchen Bouquet); 3-4 thin slices of gjetost, Norwegian brown goat cheese (optional, since this is an acquired taste); salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Meatballs are one of the most traditional Norwegian foods. The trick for my recipe is to taste the gravy as you go and add extra sour cream, or wine, or broth.
