Anyone who grew up in the Cleveland area has heard of McGarvey's restaurant in nearby Vermilion. Many reports from the 1960s and 70s say it was one of the top three restaurants in Ohio, if not THE best.
Many of us can still remember our parents talking about "those McGarvey sauerkraut balls" and wondering how they could ever make them at home.
Here, courtesy of Shelley Solomon Prueter (daughter of McGarvey's owner Eddie Solomon), is THE recipe for McGarvey's Famous Sauerkraut Balls.
½ lb Pork
½ lb Ham
½ lb Corned Beef
2 lbs Sauerkraut
1 tsp Dry Mustard
1 small Onion
1 pinch Parsley
2 cups Flour
2 cups of milk
Grind together meat, onion and parsley. Brown in a skillet.
Add flour, milk and mustard. Cook until fluffy. Cool.
Add sauerkraut, grind again. Roll in flour, then dip in egg and roll in fresh bread crumbs. Deep fry until dark brown.
Enjoy!
