Königsberger Klopse

Königsberger Klopse is a savory meal consisting of meatballs in a white sauce served with a side of boiled potatoes and sliced pickled beets. Similar dishes have existed since the Middle Ages, but klopse (lit. meatballs) were invented in Königsberg (now known as Kaliningrad) back in the 18th century.

These meatballs are mostly made with minced veal and a small amount of either anchovies, sardines, or herrings, which are nicely contrasted by capers in the white sauce.
