NORWEGIAN MEATBALLS 
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/2 c. cream
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground veal
1 egg, beaten
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. onions, minced
2 tbsp. capers, mashed
3 tbsp. flour
1 1/3 c. chicken stock
1/3 c. butter
1 1/2 oz. Swiss cheese, grated
2 tbsp. minced parsley

Pour milk or cream over bread crumbs and soak for 15 minutes. Blend beef and veal, egg, salt, pepper, onion, capers and crumb mixture. Shape into 1 inch meatballs and arrange on a shallow dish. Place in microwave oven and cook at full power for 8 to 10 minutes or bake in conventional oven at 350 degrees for minutes.

Rest 5 minutes and make gravy of the rest of the ingredients except the parsley which is topping. The gravy will take 3 to 5 minutes to cook in the microwave oven; or in pan on the stove, cook 5 minutes over medium heat. Pour gravy over meatballs and top with parsley. Serves 4 to 6.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
