Gehaktballen

Gehaktballen are the Dutch version of meatballs, characterized by their large size. The dish is typically associated with winter, as it is a classic representative of Dutch comfort food. These meatballs are usually made with a combination of ground beef and pork and flavorings such as salt, pepper, nutmeg, onions, and mustard. They are then slowly simmered in their own juices until done. When served, gehaktballen can be accompanied by anything from stamppot and bread to condiments such as mustard, ketchup, and peanut sauce.
