Big Meatballs / German Buletten Recipes German "Buletten" (also known as Frikadellen). General Tips for Big, Juicy Buletten:  * Binding: For big meatballs, a good binder is crucial to prevent them from falling apart. Soaked bread, breadcrumbs, or even a little cornstarch/flour can help.  * Moisture: Don't let them dry out! Onions, eggs, and a splash of milk or broth contribute to juiciness.  * Flavor Base: Finely diced onions, garlic, fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill), salt, and pepper are essential.  * Cooking: Pan-frying then finishing in the oven (or simmering in sauce) can ensure even cooking without burning the outside. 1. Classic Minced Meat Buletten (As Lean as Possible) To make these lean, we'll focus on lean ground meat and optimize moisture and flavor without excess fat. Ingredients:  * 500g lean ground beef (e.g., 5% fat) or lean ground turkey/chicken  * 1 large onion, very finely diced (or grated)  * 2 slices stale white bread, crusts rem...
